I want to do the dyno day for fun but it's more than an hour away so I don't know. It's coming up in March.

[RangerSport4x2]

I had underbody curb damage, no suspension or frame issues. One bent rim from probably the same curb. Scuffing on interior door panel, ring scuffing on steering wheel. Clear coat damage on the passenger side, poorly repaired rear quarter dent on the passenger side, and a weird ripple on the roof.

And I was like, THIS IS THE ONE!

If I knew how much I would love this Z, I would have spent the extra money and bought a Nismo. But instead I formed a bond with this one, and spent way too much money on it in the following month.

There was some underbody car damage on the front frame rails but that was it. Couple small dents down low drivers side door. They put 2 brand new front Pirelli tires to replace a destroyed but somehow still holding air passenger front.

I didn’t get the courtesy of decent tires. They put two Velozzas on the rear. Had them all swapped for Super Sports the following week.

I hate these Pirellis but I'm thankful they gave me new ones. Although I saved the good Tire as a spare and it has more tread than my current front tires do, and I've only put 15000 miles or less on the car...
They acted like they were doing me a humongous favor and I was like no you're not going to be able to sell that car in this state with that tire on it so fuck off trying to act like you're giving me a deal

As soon as I test drove the Camaro after test-driving the RT 5.7 Challenger, I knew the Camaro was the one

[RangerSport4x2]

That 5.7 needs an update. They’re fine in the trucks but they’re fucking slow in the challengers. The 480HP 392 feels about as quick as the Mustang and Camaro with less power. It’s also like 4,200lbs.


Never fixed passenger clear coat damage or slightly out of shape rear quarter. Rear quarter is the only thing you can probably spot in photo. Directly to the right of the floor jack handle in the way. Nobody seems to notice, and it helps me not care about parking in downtown Tampa. So I’ve left it alone for now.

Was the prior fix for the Takata grenade airbags or for a wire issue?

Just don’t turn into Logan buying parts, bragging about it, and then never installing them.
