alright guys, today i get my baby lude back after two weeks in the body shop. she looks absolutely new :D
anyways, over the past two weeks, i've driven several cars lent to me by my friends and family...heres what i think about them:
04 Corrolla S & LE: nice acceleration, nice driveability, luxirous int.
01 Mazda Millenia: most luxirious int., horrible acceleration
95 Toyota Camry: quicker from fully stopped than corolla, horrible int.
92 VW Golf: horrible everything, at least it moved and let me see my lude at the shop (13 miles away)
Bike: shitty engine ;) no horsepower, no protection from rain!
alas, none compare to my baby. wondrous acceleration, wonderful driveability (except in traffic since its stick), close to perfect ergonomic interior that i love (wish it had leather seats, but can't have everything can i ;))
btw, to praise my lude on being the best car i've ever driven, i have a brand new AEM intake, headers, strut bars, chrome license plate, and radar detector waiting for it to come home.
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

P.S. the bike's 21 speeds are very useless and inefficient!! who actually upshifts and downshifts on those things?!?!? :screwy:
oh well, its not like you have a clutch to worry about. just your poor ass and leg muscles.
oh, btw, i know a lot of you might just think:
:gives:
but its late, and i'm bored, and decided i'd rant for a while. if you don't like it...tough :thefinger:

i never got pics of the before :( it happened in the evening, so after i got home, i just went to bed. the next morning, as soon as i woke up, i drove to the car's original dealer, and left it at their body shop.
the damage was:
drivers side nose impact. driver side headlight destroyed. fender on same side crumbled, twisted, sticking out. bumper cracked, broken, dragging on the floor. hood was flattened for about a foot in a half.
luckily most of the damage was just body work. it was a low-speed crash, so there was no damage to the engine bay and my h22 (not even the radiator).
i shall post after pics later
