well I totaled the truck today. Was heading up to Naples on route 302 to a friends house. Another car pulled off a side road in front of me, I never saw them until it was to late and I hit the car going about 50MPH. Both her door and steering wheel air bags went off, neither one of mine did and I slammed my head off the steering wheel. Both of us went to the hospital. I'm fine other then a huge knot above my eye and a black eye that looks like looks like rampage jackson lit me up. Pretty sure the insurance company will total it out, its damaged pretty bad.

Damn, glad you are OK Travis

 

[Venom351R]

Thanks Fred. Forehead above my eye hurts like hell but thats to be expected after driving it off the steering wheel at 50MPH. It was paid off in 2 payments which is what really sucks

 

[Venom351R]

Here is the car that pulled out in front of me. 2009 corolla

That should be a fun car. Are you gonna start modding the sti too? LOL

 

[Venom351R]

lol no probably not fred. I mean I might do a few things to it like a stage 1 tune but beyond that I dont have much planned except for maybe some interior stuff. The Cobra is still the fun fast track toy, this is not a replacement. Even though if I was going to replace it this would be a good thing to use. They can be made stupid fast w/ out much effort. I will say its incredible on the road, the handleing is amazing and it just sticks to the road, takes corners at speeds that I would never dare to in a RWD car. Not to mention it comes w/ freeking Brembo's on it, thing stops like it could pull your eyeballs out

 

[Mr No Stang]

Sorry to hear about the accident Travis, glad you are O.K..

Love the STI, that should be a lot of fun.

 

[Venom351R]

Thanks mike, hows everything on your end? I stopped in and talked with chris yesterday he said he has saturdays off now, maybe the 3 of us can get together soon.

 

[gaslight]

nice replacement! That car should handle like crazy especially when you compare it to the truck. I wouldn't mind having one of those go carts. How much was it and what kind of mileage did it have? The AWD will be great in the winter.
On a completely different note I now know of 2 different woman that live in Kennebunk that do ****. HA HA. Its a small world. Met one of them a few months ago and I probably have seen the other around but didn't know they did that kind of stuff.

 

[FEARNO1]

And how did you find that info out Bryan???

 

[gaslight]

people talk and you have to know the right people who are doing the talking.
One woman uses her real name, which isn't smart, and the other uses a fake name.
Just saw one of the vids where she inserts a popsicle then eats it.

 

[Venom351R]

what a dirty girl!!! Bryan gets all the gossip being a UPS driver.


It was 25K I put down $4225 after they took out $800 to pay off my ranger. They gave me $5,100 for it which is about what I was expecting. It had 34,8XX when it got it, just clicked over to 35,000 for me. Guess I joined the boost/turbo club as well.

 

[gaslight]

So its been a few days. How is the new car? Do you have to burn super in that thing?

 

[Venom351R]

I like it so far, gotten anywhere from 23-27 MPG but thats w/ different octanes. I'm running 91 in it to see how it likes that. Its recommend for 93 but we don't have that around here anymore

 

[gaslight]

that will make it a bit more expensive to run compared to the truck.

 

[Venom351R]

not when the MPG is a lot better. I got 16-17 in the truck 18 if I was lucky

 

[gaslight]

just keep your foot out of it and the mileage will be better.
Had a open house here on sunday. 5 couples showed up which was decent for a crappy housing market. Hope to sell this house in a decent amount of time but no offers yet. Had one couple look at the house last week and they are trying to decide between our place and another.
