A bunch of silly 2000-2004 Mustangs with bolt on exhausts were reving and trying to intimidate the VW guys.

So I came up and showed them what's up.

They all started cracking up, asking me what's in it and giving me high fives.



I have a ton of updates, just kind of receiving from all the police related crap that happened during H2o.



If anyone has any pics/ found any of my car during H2o, post em up here. That'd be rad. Cool, thanks ya'll.

HAHAHAH yes, I wish there was. Someone looked like they were recording, so hopefully it turns up.

Sweet build/project/life looking forward to H2O related updates.

5.0 is a fun engine.

That is all.

It's essentially the same engine, just taller, so...

I actually thought about making that switch myself.

So now for the hell that has been my last 2 weeks or so, with some seriously awesome times with some great friends thrown in.


So on the Sunday before H2o(planned to leave on thursday night, had work everyday except for thursday itself) I was doing a look over of the car as I do before long trips and joy of all joys, my clutch pedal snapped off the firewall. This was due to the stupid way I had mounted it when I was 17. Do it right, do it once.


So I got some materials and got a basic patch down to at least get my to H2oi, and I'd be ordering a pedal box when I got back.









I got some new hardware, bolted it up, and everything was fine and dandy on Tuesday. Later that day, my rollbar came in. So I threw it in the back of the car, and headed over my friends house!(don't try this at home, professional redneck here). Got it in within an hour, all bolted up. Albeit it was dark, so these pics are from Thursday. Not that it matters. Just being honest.






So the car was a filthy mess, looking like this








So I cleaned it out, and was met with this(after I repainted all the chrome sound deadening)







So I got packed up, and packed the car up.








Then headed to my good friend Andrews house to meet up with a few other friends to head out to H2oi!

[FunfGang]

Anddddd we made it







The next morning Micah came down all the way from Pittsburgh, and two streets before where we were staying broke his transmission case. So after some welding and a whole lot of temporary JB weld, he was ready to roll.







So we headed to the S|W Air Affair meet, which was really rad. Mike and the guys did a swell job of organizing and keeping the stupidity down from the H2o crowd. Saw some Corgis and some cool cars, have a sample. Terrible compression thanks to photobucket.



































Then later that night







This unfortunately became a trend for the rest of weekend. Moral of the story: OCPD hates America.








Later that night I picked up a sticker from a super rad Canadian friend.

Bet you can't guess his name.

(this is a joke)

(laugh now)








I also manage to spear a coffee cup leaving a meet. It is still hanging on and scraping.








Someone gave me this "Dusty" sticker while I was pulled over being introduced the long arm of the insecure law, which ended with many, many tickets for doing nothing but being American. Cool B)

I don't know what Dusty is, but it was cool and seemed ignorant so why not put it on the gauge cluster?








On the way home I rolled with some of the Dapper guys, and a cool kid by the name of Brian snapped this pic while I passed.











And with that the car is going off the road for 3 years.


So I'll be back with updates or pictures of stickers or pretty girls or something idk.

[MattAvino]

3 years??
Does this have to do with the tickets?

[FunfGang]

3 years??
Does this have to do with the tickets?

Mostly, yeah.


I've had a ton of warnings locally about having the car towed and impounded(and worse), and one of my tickets at H2o was a $140 "misuse of historic tag" tickets.


But don't worry, this means more updates than what's been happening, and I'll be getting to a lot of events during those years! Just because she's off the street doesn't mean she's going to sit

[axelillo_PR]

3 years??? Ive been without mine for almost a year and i think I might snap and punch a baby on the ear soon

[Kinghorn]

[floatingdino]

Ticket for being too American.
