my back is effed up. It's been 6 days and it still hurts like hell.

It was unpleasant when I needed to shovel 5 inches of snow.. electric shovel worked wonderfully for most of it but I had to keep taking breaks and never completely finished.

here is the thread that I am keeping up to date with the repair process (not that my insurance company has even approved repairs):

I have a leak...somewhere. Today was the second time in two weeks I had a puddle
inside my car on the driver's side floor.
No idea where it's coming from.

could be windshield, but really only if you've had it replaced recently.

well im not really a fan but the paintjob is different. I kinda like that he had the emblem and grill painted to match. also not a fan of the black wheels. but to each his own. he put alot of work into that (or atleast alot of money), the shaved door handles is impressive. his claim of 10grand under the hood sounds like aftermarket work? I guess it would help to see more pics. isnt that the stock set-up for the turbo and intercooler? I guess the blow off valve may not be stock

You guys are funny, wish I had a garage too. I'm a fanatic when it comes to washing my car. It actually bothers me when theres dust on it, I think I have 'protegedirtyitis', there is no cure.

Both cars are dirty as sin, but I'm going to have to deal with it for now.
