Are we talking BMI here? I consider myself 'tiny' but that's because the height/weight proportions are off


Anywhoo....best to find friends (guys in particular) and ply them with beer and force them to install stuff for you. Works for me! Stuff they can't/won't do I just take to my Auto Stylists or to my Electricial Guru or to my Body Shop Guy and they do it for me. Basically, I'm just here to make $$$, pick out the stuff that goes on the car, detail it, and babysit it at the car shows.

Man, I've got it rough

Talking

Haha, you guys are funny. I have a couple people to help me out. None of them drink, though...hmm..I'll take the good meal idea.

So, nothing over 5'2", eh? haha, damn, I'm 5'3".

In Utah, I have no clue where to go for the places that do that kind of stuff for you. I don't want to give them money to do what my Dad and 2 Guys to do. Do you think it would be better to let an auto shop do it, rather than a learn-as-you-go kinda deal???


I want to paint my insides today. That sounds nasty. I want to paint my dash crap. That's a little better.

Nothing in life ever comes free...Damn I wish it did! I'd be happy!!

In Utah though I can have 6 wives!

DO NOT DO THIS INSTALL IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOURE DOING!.

you don't want to do a suspension install and not know if you've got it right or not. Nothing like watching wheel fall off or your tire tread destroy itself in 50 miles.

Honestly the only real BITCH in the install is those rear endlinks...I swear when I get my illumina's I'm switching to AWR adjustables.

Exclamation

Utah sucks!! I will buy anyone as much beer as they want and FOOD, if they come over and help meeeeeeee. I seriously just started wanting to do this stuff like a month ago. I only have until May 7th and 10 AM. Hooray. Well, I can do stuff after that too, I want to enter in more car shows. What are the perks of car shows, any how? Besides the cars, and the people. :microwave:

By the way, you can't have 6 wives in Utah, haha. That's not a perk here. Here, It's boring, there's nothing to do, everyone sucks and looks down on you if you say anything remotely close to bad, and if you don't go to church you're considered goth or some form of the devil, and no mormons or their kids can have anything to do with any kid or family who is not mormon, no matter how good of people they are. I had LOTS of problems with lacking friends in elementary school.

Oh!! You should take a trip through Colorado City, Utah. Oh, MAAAAAN! That is the -most- poligamist town in the entire US. They think you're the "media" so, when you go there, they follow you around like a lost puppy dog. and they watch you, and glare at you. and they know who isn't of their ''culture'' by their clothes, I swear they dress like quakers!

We have it good, people. We do. I feel sorry for those people, that's all they've ever known is "My Dad has 8 wives! I have 392344324 Brothers and 30298402934.3 sisters! Let's not even talk about COUSINS or UNCLES !"
