3 blocks off Woodward in Berkley between 11 & 12 mile. Took my car out Monday night for the first time. Neighbor yelled at me for roasting my tires on the street. Screw him. I see some Royal Oak cops on Woodward but not many. Still enough to keep my from driving like an idiot. I don't need any more tickets.

Is it that damn Ford Ranger or whatever the hell that shitbox is? I hate people like that. I remember 2 years ago when I was driving my TA, I went to Churchills, came out, and there was a blazer that was literally 2 inches from my driver side door. I got so pissed that I punched out his back window.....bad mistake....12 stitches later....I regret the decision.

Yea its the ranger. I park up there at like 8-9 in the morning sometimes, and every spot is empty, and when i come out hes right next to me. It's like WTF 50 EMPTY spots everywhere and he choose it. Atleast he doesnt hit my car with the door.

Haha thats a funny story regardless, i wouldn't regret.. something to tell your grandkids someday. shows you got pride

I drove my car down to Ohio for the weekend to see family after checking the weather forecast daily all week. So disgusted to see snow all over and salt back on the roads. I can't stand it. Going to have to totally detail the car again, take my new Fikse's off and do them too....

Snow isn't bothering me at this point, my motors not done yet. The more snow, the less of a hurry I'm in to put my car back together. I'll drive the truck for now.

I have a LS7 clutch on my workbench and hydraulics to go in my car. Hopefully next week so I can drive it to Chicago for the weekend. But for the moment the car is still in storage until the clutch is done.
