Yes I know some of you dont like BWR stuff but from what I have read it you either hate it or like it. From what I have seen it doesnt look that bad of stuff, if I have to eat my words later so be it but this is what I am goin with.

- Mon Mar 19, 2012 6:36 am #298796 Well just spent the later half of the day washing the wife's and my car, both were well over due! Glad his gobal warming is finally kicking in here it is in the 70s in North Dakota in March! :woot:

On a worse note also just spent a few hours running and hiding wiring for my fog lights to get the finally working, test them work great look awesome, start the car to move it out of the garage to put the wifes back in ture on the fog lights and what do you know the wiring once again burns up!! :x :x Looks like I will be making my wiring harness for it out of some decent wire.

On a better note should be getting my sway bars and front strut tower bar tomorrow so more pictures to follow this coming weekend :D

- Wed Mar 28, 2012 3:50 pm #300151 Well I got the new sway bars front and rear and new bushings one the front end, that was an awesome 3 day fiasco!! Not complaining though very good learning experience and great satisfaction that I have done everything to fix this car in my garage! :woot: then I take it to tires plus to get it aligned and they tell me they can't cause the right rear uca has some play, knew I should've done the back too! So just going to let them fix it while I am out of town for the next two days :cry:

See that is what I thought too but they kept telling me they couldn't do it! Really kinda pissed me off, oh well though I need it in good driving condition since I will be driving it from North Dakota to Texas in June. They called today and said it was done so guess I get to see what the damage is when I get back in town Friday.

- Thu Apr 05, 2012 6:51 am #301015 Well just had the worst night! After getting everything suspension wise done on my car, all painted up and looking like I want it, so months of work ton of man hours all to be destroyed by some punk ass kid in a matter of seconds! :x

I was running 75 down a two lane highway when all of a sudden a pair of headlights come up on me like I am sitting still! So I look to the passing lane and nope can't go there, there's a car in that lane, and these lights are getting closer so I try to go to the shoulder but not quick enough. I get rear ended at 75 pushed down the road and then sent into a spin at 75, thank god my car is as low as it was or I think I would have flipped. He tags me again as we are spinning in the passenger side collapsing the door and blowing out the window on me and a buddy, putting us into the median.

After checking myself out I found that he hit us so hard it broke the back off my seat. After looking around the car we found about a 2 foot gash in the passenger door. Best part about it the kid said he was only goin 80 in a 07 impala. DON'T THINK SO! Cops said we spun for about 100 yards down the highway

Really pissed my car got destroyed, I will try to post pictures tomorrow. Wish there was some way to have them just fix it and not total it! That would be sweet!!!!!
