LOL, I found my old Z on carsoup. Kind of makes me sad, it was a good car. It's weird because they removed the rims, and exhaust I had on it.

(money for meals) which is 39 dollars a day. and since we are working for the university we are living in student housing.. which means college kids (yes dave college girls too) are running around everywhere. im gonna try to get the 260z goin!

This was a good laugh: http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hn...327090039.html

Ive meet the kid before, he bought the car from a auction and fixed the damage and re-painted it himself. I personally think it looks like garbage. He also has no idea about what mods it has and he claims that it spins the tires in 3rd.

I know him too. They operate a body shop in Blaine. I thought the car looked nicer before he put all that multicolor on it.

It looks as good as new I went through it the best I could and couldn't find anything that looked out of place. It's kind of nerve racking to be driving it again, I have that thought of the accident in the back of my mind that feeling should go away once I drive for a while.

I'll post pics of the finished product when I can.
