my 2 cents...

alright guys, today i get my baby lude back after two weeks in the body shop. she looks absolutely new

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.

Re: my 2 cents...

P.S. the bike's 21 speeds are very useless and inefficient!! who actually upshifts and downshifts on those things?!?!?

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:

but its late, and i'm bored, and decided i'd rant for a while. if you don't like it...tough :

Re: my 2 cents...

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
