first week=assessment, disassembly
second week=spring break, snowboarding in utah
third week=hadd all the parts but ran out of money.....and, broke another part
wednesday of fourth week she leaves the garage (with the dust cover rubbing the brake disk, but that was easily fixed)
sunday= FREE ALIGNMENT! sweet, would do it myself if i knew how.....

I've had my fair share of incidents. First time I tried drifting on some snow and ice. I tried to get the car sideways and held it then I realized I had held the throttle too long and slid backwards into the ditch. The second time I tried to slide around a snowy curve. Well as usual the front end of the car plowed and I hit the curb at 30mph with both front wheels. I thought my car was gone when I went into the ditch. By the grace of God I was able to drive away without ANY body damage. (Ironically I've never had a single accident while gripping.) So I've decided to shelve the drifting thing until I can get an old 5.0 to practice with. I love drifting but my 'lil Tbird (and my life) is more important.

good luck man. I have bought so much crap for my 240. I think my crashes were cause my equipment sucked. Well now it does not suck--or at least not as bad as it did . So we will see what excuse I come up with IF i crash now--only if I crash--good luck on your venture
