    Default something new...

    the past couple months i have found myself putting the slicks up for sale and getting annoyed with shifting gears and having a car rattle when you turn the AC on. im getting old and lame, i know. anyways i decided to do something new. me and a my girlfriend have always shared the neon, i paid for alot of the stuff plus all mods, maintenance and repairs but that has changed now cause i have a new project....




    last night i debadged the rear gate, removed the LS emblems on the front doors and removed the fender trim. tonight im removing the roof rack and giving her a proper detail (wetsand, wax, all that shat). i already have 1 audiobahn Aw1005x 900 watt RMS sub, sony xplode 600watt RMS class D mono amp, polk audio door speakers and pioneer headunit. monday im going to see jason over at DYNAMIC SOUND CAR AUDIO cause he is giving me some great deals on a alarm, vented box, and 4x6 speakers for the dash. monday i also have an appointment to get the front door windows tinted to match the rears. system and alarm should go in wedsday.

    future plans are rear roll pan bumper, different front bumper and grill, a low static drop with 18 or 20 inch torque thrust 2's.


    so far i like the truck alot, i bought it in syrmna and jumped on 75S at 80 MPH and just rode out back to conyers. its a very nice blazer in great condition. im VERY happy with it right now and am excited to try something different in the automotive field. its very nice to just lean back and cruise and not have to shift gears in traffic, dodge pot holes like they are the AIDS, plan your route in the kroger parking lot to avoid the speed bumps, have every cop stare at me, every mustang rev at me and every civic try to race me.

    its so sweet to just grab the bottom of the steering wheel and lean my arm on the center console and just ride the fuck out!

    i dont know man, i just feel like i need a break from fast cars. im sure ill be back one day but for now with so many things happening to me and my friends cause of 400+whp cars im just not feeling it like i used to.

    Don't. I think it would look good as hail to leave the rack on there and having it nice and low.

    And I know what you mean about just being able to cruise around without shifting. Been looking for an SUV for a while now. Later, QD.

    You don't think it would give it a sleek and cleaner look?

    Yeah it's great. Ever since I sold that black one I had I missed it. It was so easy to carry all my photography gear such as lights and just haul random stuff around in. I'm happy I got another one.

    Of course it would look sleeker and all, but I think it would look cool as hail with it on there. I guess mostly because most everyone takes them off when they go to customizing them. Later, QD.
