Yup, that was awsome... what are the chances that you'd be in New Hampshire the DAY of the race. Twilight Zone in a cool way. I'm so pissed we didnt' shoot a real quick photo of the thre opf us next to the CoupeDeville in the parking lot. Stupid, Stupid... shoulda, coulda, woulda. :( I'll just have to drive down to Penn sometime soon and meet up wiht all you PA C&Gers. Yes, even you BlackViper as long as you don't buy a Honda. J/K. :AH-HA_wink: And yes, it was cool meeting up with BBL and BatmanV-dub.

Thanks FoG. Winning your respect makes it all worthwile. Just the whole process of half dissmanteling an '83 Volvo is it's own reward. I agree 100% about NASCAR. Nothing like it used ot be. IN the 50s and 60s it was awsome, then in the 70s it got a little less cool but it was still a fun motorsport but the 80s and 90s turned NASCAR into a lame spectacle IMHO. Taurus, FWD Monte and Lumina shaped fiberglass over a tube chassis race car with RWD and pushrod power? It's about as lame as a Pro-Street CRX wiht the M/Ts in the FRONT wheel wells. :rolleyes: I'll post some more funny pics. later.

Wow, Big Brother at work. You can even see my Coupe DeVille in the driveway if you look real hard. :P

RBB: Thanks for making me throw up in my mouth. That poor Caprice Mutant beast needs to be saved from a life of riding around on those' Twen-tee-fo's. Hidous.

"Slovakian living in Dubai" funny, he's one of my countrymen but yet drives a S2000. Hmmm.... With all the gas I burn wiht my three V8s and one I6 I think I persoanlly payed for the right rear rim on that Enzo. :P

Wow. Regular Raider = F--- This thing: B+ Although the chrome Cross BAr has been played out too much. Chevy then VW copied it & now Mitsu... <_<
-
I hope this thing dies a semi-quick death like the Edsel and Azteek. Everyone here knows how much I HATE this truck. :puke:

Honda Solara. :rolleyes: The 92-96 and 97-00 Civics were decent looking, well proportiopned and mildly original. This thing is freekin pathetic to my eyes. Not an original line or elegant styling element on the whole car. To be fair I saw a sedan on the road for the first time Halloween night and it looked better than it did in the photos. Although I'd nevr buy it over a Cobalt or Mini.

Nope, this is the "Last Hurrah" for the season. The Hallowen Howler is the last race and the main event. Total freekin free for all. There was probably about 280 or 300 cars this year. Less than usual because of the rain date. I think I lost consciousnes for a slipt second since I remember wipping the car around and grabbing the gearshift to put it into D one second and the next thign I remember is a severe hit pushing the car forward like the hand of God... after that I just remember laying on the floor of the car flat. The seat broke right off it's rails and I was looking up at the roof and c-pillar of thre car. When I sat up I was already in the infield. My passanger side rear bumper was interlocked (stuck) with a early 90s red & white Celica. His front wheels are spinning on the grass and yet he's not moving an inch. Finally he rocked it loose and separated while my car was crankng and cranking but wouldn't catch. The first red flag was thrown up only a few seconds after I got pumeled into the grass and since the car was cranking but not starting. I decided to bail rather than become a stationary target out on the track untill the next red. I was one more than 30 guys (yup, probably 10 or 15%) that were out in the first flag due to dead cars... many for much more severe damage than my Volvo. And yes, I plan on having my Volvo back there next year, although a roll cage, 5-point harness and racing seat is a good idea after this years damage. I might have gotten myslf disabled but at least I royally f**ked up a couple Japanese cars for good measure. I think I killed two cars directly and one inadvertantly. A nose to nose crash busted his radiator (89? Corolla) :metal: The Volvo is made like a tank. It dished out more than it took. Also, since Black & Blue Landscaper has not had a chance to chime in... he happened to be in the area on Sunday night and stopped by the Race Track. We arranged to meet up at Star Speedway and I'm sitting there on the starting line when my cell phone starts buzzing. It was BBL and BatmanVW... We ended up hanging out in the parking lot afterwards even mentioned Camino. :)

wwwwow. SF/CA is a cool one too.

Next day in my driveway. BooYeah! Ouch. Might want to get a Jaw re-alignment. That'll buff right out. Well, I have to reattach the bumper, big deal. Broken Tie Rod

How many things would you do differently if you could go back with the knowledge you have now? I can think of several major changes in my life that I would love to make if I could go back in time. But here's a recent one: Instead of trying to pull a Hero Stunt J-turn in the middle of the racetrack after a half a lap in reverse at 40mph, I would pull off onto the grass and turn around safely and avoid a bone crunching rear end that disbled my Volvo and put me out of the Halloween Howler race. Here's a play-by-play photo journal recap of this years Demolition Derby race. Here she is. 240,000+ miles, $100. - Replacement grill from the junkyard: $0 Okay, everything flamable and all the glass out of the car... Yes, even the headliner Makeshift "teeth" custom made from a sheet of foam aluminum $3.99 Decided to go with the Viking theme: T-minus 45 minutes Yes, I got number 68. Wasn't even my No.1 choice. I wanted 69, 13, 44, 79, 78 and 666 in that order. (I knew I'd never get 666) :rolleyes: That's the REAL New Brunswick license plate reading "ASS" on the Volvo. Ross was all pissed at me for using it on a demilition derby car, but I've got a spare. Bought a pair on eBay. $12.99 at the Pheasant Lane Mall. About 240 cars on the track already and still more coming. This year to make things into even more of a clusterfu$k they lined us up 6 wide instead of 4 wide. How romantic. We're all waiting for the start of the race so we can attempt to commit vehicular slaughter and the sun is setting. Of course I snuck a camera onto the track. Well, that's that. Now it's time to take her home.

Wow, sounds about right for a typical "Toyota can do no wrong" preaching airhead.

What's there to think about. Do it. :)

I hate most veggie-burgers but back at college we had the BET most awsome ones in the cafeteria. They were delicious. The point is is was not trying to disguise the fact thta it was made of vegetables, unlike thopse gross ones that are supposed to taste like meat but just taste like processed $hit. I love certian things a lot of peaople don't like onions and muscles and scallops... love almost any type of seafood. My favorite Pizza is black olive and garlic. MMmmmmm-Mmm. Delish. :)

These days the typical Corolla owner is as old as a Buick owner so it has to be huge so they can read it. :P

LOL this is pretty funny.... I love Seafood and Italian Food, love mushrooms, garlic and onions... the only way I drink Vodka is straight up and I love the McFish as well as spicy food. Also, I like HotDogs, as long as they taste good I like em... don;t need to know what;'s in them. I'm sure the typical hamburger at McD/BK/Wendy's has just as much "mystery meat" in it anyway. I'm also very open minded in terms of exotic foods. Always wanted to have Rattlesnake soup :) What DO I hate? -- Milk straight up... (has to be a milkshake or at least have Nestle Strawberry flavoring in it. ) -- Tomatoes -- Liver -- Cow Udder Soup. (don't ask) :puke: The first tow are a result of me eating a basket full of tomatoes as a kid right out of my Grandmother's garden when I had the Flu... later that night I had a glass of milk and ended up puking my guts out. 22 years later I still do not eat tomatoes or milk without a major distraction. Like I'll have a taco wiht a little tomato in it and I love mixed drinks with milk.

Airhead chick starring at my '68 Camaro with a big prominent blue Bowtie in the grille: "Nice Mustang, what year?" Chick in high school, real conversation: (true story) "Where's Thiland?" -- It's in south-east Asia. "Where's that?" -- it's right next to Vietnam. "Vietnam was a WAR not a country." -- Wow... whatever you say. :blink:

Just thought up a few more eating breakfast: 69 caliber Gemorah Broken Record Optimus Max 12 gauge Vertical Smile Skank Sinatra

Wow, and they thought Mozart was a prodigy at 4 years old... BV was writing songs in eutero. You must have been the first lead singer fetus. :lol: :P If I di have a Band it would be called something badass like: Incinerator Breaking Rod Smack Rabbit Acid Fire Crusher Tripple Six Stukka Jupiter Seven Satans Flak Racket Queefer Smack Daddy This Whore That Cadaver Hollow Point or something car realated like: Firethorn Invicta Lead Sled Four Twenty Seven Rat Rod Bitchin Camaro White Diamond Blue Panther Burnout ...those are just off the top of my head. I had come up wiht like 300 ides for names for my friend Mark's band. The used to be called "Mugsy" but wanted a new name, they ended up going With "Bionic". Kind of corny IMO.

I went out last night and bought a bunch of Halloween stuff for my Volvo demolition enduro race car. Since the car is a Sweedish I'm going wiht the whole Viking theme. I bought two smal light up skulls, one big neon green light up skull and a Viking warrior Skull wiht the helmet and long gray hair, it's on a 3 foot staff. These are just the begining of the elaborate halloween getup the car will receive before the race tomorrow night. It will be a smashing success I'm hope! :lol: I also made big teeth for the front of the car and have a few otehr Viking elements planned. I might still make a cardboard Viking ship for the roof. Almost everyone wiht some creativity bolts up soe random crazy thing to the roof. I bought a blow up doll but I'm not goign to use it cause it's only like 3.5 feet tall and looks a lot more like a semi naked child than a skanky girl. It's actually creepy. I'm going to return it to Spencer Gifts and tell them to stop sellinmg kiddie p0rn dolls. Idiots. Anyway if you guys never see another post fro me afer the 29th of Oct. it's a safe bet I got killed in my Volvo, otherwise expect a full story on this madness in a few days. :)
