Yah this will be the first winter I park it. Got myself a winter beater. Calgary winters destroy vehicles.

People are horrible drivers period. All the little ignorant maneuvers they make just get magnified during a time that requires care and skill to stay alive.

what i haven't been able to figure out is why during a decent rush hour that i have to come to a complete stop when there are no lights for 10 km and all the exits are free flowing. explain that one to me.

people not knowing how to drive.....thats why. There is a neat video somewhere of how it only take 1 person to start a traffic jam with no lights by hitting there brakes. I will try and find it. Anyone up for poker and beer next friday?

Mark do you want rides out of downtown at 5? im always leaving around that time and if i am i could pick you up?

ya they may not like it but i find it hilarious. i only do it to people that are obviously retarded and shouldn't be on the road. i can tell if they are doing it on purpose or just got a little close and then back off. those people i don't do it to

no im not giving up, i was just seeing what it was worth as i have it on a lease and its up soon and just looking at all my options and wether i should keep it or not. I like my car and ive sunk to much money so think i will end up keeping it. Im just at that point where im wondering if i should keep investing money or not- i want to but im hesitant at the same time. I think with a nice set of coil overs and some other small performance parts and a repainted hood my car will be a pretty nice setup. Damn car habit gets expensive...lol
