The evening began w/ the tare down:




This is what insane speeds + broken bumper will do to you:






Back to the Old School:




Conclusion:
Temporary fixer upper until the real deal comes next week - I have a hot date this weekend therefore I need this to compensate for the things I lack... why else would anyone dump this much money into a car? It's obviously for the chicks! If it wasn't for ladies in this world, I would drive a B18C5 Civic HB T4 Turbo NOS VTEC Si Oil Cooled (dam that's a lot of abbreviations)

reFunction:TUNING has begun!

The day starts off with me getting HONKED at. I was like... wha? Is some chick tryin ta get my number? OHHH... it wasn't some chick.. it was some ricer by the name of "bb1314" aka Ethan on this rice forum:



Ethan: *HONK HONK* "Hey hey hey!! Where are you going?"
Me: "Car Toyz!"
Ethan: "Okay I'm following you!"

We get there and Arthur says, "Look what came in!"



Arthur: "This is some high quality fiberglass!"



Here is my car parked infront of Car Toyz (GREAT shop btw!!!):



Arthur: "Let's walk over to Enterprise to get you a rental"

We walk over there and I had a brief talk with the ladies. It just so happens to be that Ethan had JUST gotten his rental there as well (you can see him pictured above pimpin the Ford Taurus!)

Lady: "HmMm... we have a Camry... will that work?"

Me: "Uhhh..... I'm not sure... I don't think I can pickup any women with that thing"



Me: "Can we stick like... some 22's on there? Gotta ride in style... and I need the one that spins, chicks dig that shiz..."

Lady: "Are you serious?"

Me: "I'm dead serious"

Lady: "Well... let me see.. I can hang my pink cuffs on your rearview mirror if it makes you feel any better!"

Me: "No... i want 20's at least! This sucker only has hubcaps! How can I P-I-M-P women with HUBCAPS?!?!"

(blah blah blah, more BS talking w/ the lady for 5 mins)

Her: "So! How would you rate our service here today?"

Me: "UmmmmMMm... Satisfactory, you guys don't have a set of chrome 20's.... (nor an oil cooler!!!)"

However back on topic! Here's a teaser pic of what's to come!!!:



(Caption on the photo above) Ethan pointing at the hole in the bumper, "DUDE!! The bumper already has a HOLE in it!!! You dam ricer!!! Return it!!!"

More pics when the rice mobile is complete!

That bumper with the big hole goes on your rice mobile will take the All Show & No Go theory to the next level!

My Taurus > Your Camry
