pictures will be up after the car gets a wash.

the front is still currently smashed in. but will get some damage pictures as well.


here are some old pics.

just to show you guys what my i30's been through.



weekly desert trips.

that photo was taken and the starter went out- 90 mile tow truck ride back home FTL!


the car's seen a couple war games...


4x4 wheel gap, cause I needed it.



and the beginning of the madness.

from the last picture on it looks like one of those time lapse things they do with crack-hos.

but she's on her way back!

If he wont update it, I will.

We got around to fixing his leaky windshield washer fluid reservoir. Had a total of two holes and two cracks. We attempted to patch it with epoxy the first time around without pulling it out. We just reached through via fenderwell but we ended up missing the other three spots. This time we pulled it out, epoxied, and all is well.

Slowly but surely.
