Default **EndOfAnEra... The rise and fall of my Sh*t Brown EJ8** 56k go reconsider your internet provider

Well, on the fateful eve of Friday, April 11th... my car saw it's last dying breaths. I never really posted it up much here (or on importatlanta for that matter), but she sure went through some sh*t in her time. Haters smashin her up with a bat, fat people sitting on her hood, 3 trannys, 2 downpipes, one back window, and a partridge in a pear tree. Haha. I'm trying to stay in good spirits, but it was an avoidable accident that boiled down to slow reaction time and just plain driver error. Road went hard left, lost control, you get the idea. Anyway here's a small timeline of it's life throughout the 4 years of my ownership. Yeah, there's a couple of phases it went through that I failed to capture in photograph, but it came a long way from me buying it wanting nothing more than a nice economical car to get me from point A to point B, to a +200whp boosted & slammed sohc (on a wack *** budget to boot).
It was time she was retired. I always got offers from people wanting to buy her, and I would've liked to have been able to sell her prior to the accident, but I guess the junkyard will have to be home enough.
Anyway, enough with the stupid eulogy.
She may not be much compared to some of the cars on here, but she's all I had.






haha


































*cheers*

thanks man. I'll be back with something new. Probably something WAY different, but I'm still shopping around so it's all up in the air right now.
