[GNO]

Those graphics look sweet. But then again, I'm an old guy. . . so the 15 minutes ago thing really works for me.

I've been drawing out tribal flames for my car. I saw a Harley (or other bike) t-shirt that was black with silver flames that looked like they were cut out of sheet metal. I've been considering something similar for my black car.

Then i heard a voice in my head that said to me last night, your townhome bill is outrageously high because you want to live so close to work, please pay me so i can continue living in this wonderful townhome... And then the darkside comes and says...

(hump) the townhome, get the rims and lowering kit, be it eibach or whatever... And i say (uhm) ...

whoa, that's really weird, cause in my dream, after you got your suspension and wheels, you started going to shows, then john singleton came to your house and said, "you don't need to live in a townhome, come live in my mansion." then you organized three civics and started robbing big rigs. i was your chauffeur and the radio started flashing again, it said, "wake up. wake up. wake up." then i woke up and had to go take a final.

[mypfizzle]

truc.. did u ever get any sleep? LMFAO. -=P.. maybe u were passed out at your keyboard and the last thing u saw was the pic of his car. -=P

Oh yeah, and then i got all these beautiful women at the car shows to sign their posters and pose next to my car and then after the show they wanted to get (beer)and show me their (boobs), but then the dream abruptly ended when i woke up and realized that i didnt have 500 dollars and an extra 250 dollars to drop my car and i got sad and :'(

i got a little wink of sleep. it was short and sweet. so was my final... well, except for the sweet part. i knew how to do like 1 question out of 7. the others, i just put gibberish down.

the dream i had was way weird... something about someone, i don't know who, who said that they would never rice their car out, then all of a sudden, they have a riced out car and don't even know it. and then APC stopped being rice for some odd reason. then phoenix's car was my car and i was driving it, then phoenix met john singleton while riding that yellow phoenix thing with an APC sticker on it's sunglasses, then next thing i know, i was a chauffeur. then i woke up and it was 7am. final was at 8. i haven't showered today. i'm sitting in the library studying for my final tomorrow and posting on the forums. it's fun.

I live in Stafford Texas, SW side... truthfully, my car isnt all that... I never really intended to make it a souped up bad@$$ import racer, just a little car that would get me to and from work... Unfortunately i met a friend, who knew a friend that loved inport racing, and it all went south from there... I havent gotten the rims because i just bought this townhome and got an engagement ring for my fiance... Soooo... Right now the wallet is kinda empty... :(
