man you've had a ****ty 12 months.
It was the trucks fault. Insurance is taking care of the vehicle and all that, but I'm waiting til monday to find out if the tendon tore away from the bone or now, which they are thinking it did. So I havent been able to work for the past 3 weeks, and itll probably be at least another 3 or 4 before I can start working half shifts and stuff. I think for the next car, its going to be something simple, and I'm just going to chill for a while. Someone somewhere obviously isnt happy with the car choices I've been making.... lol
Everyone, including myself, is very surprised I wasn't far more injured. I was going 40, which was the speed limit, but going from 35/40 to 0 in a fiberglass bodied car takes its toll. Just glad I'm ok with only minor injuries.

Yeah you were really lucky.

Rock I got nada yet because everything has been pretty much the same for the last weeks. The Scooby looks stock for now so not worth the pics. I spoke with CCW and they said Wheels well probably be finished by next week. The BlackTop Aero stuff.......Black hole. Vendor I went through is trying to get an ETA. Coilovers will hopefully ship this week. Downpipe will ship this week, no clue where the air intake is (Cobb CAI).

Waiting game still. Jesse said he'd ship my AC stuff but I'm not holding my breath. My works should be to RavSpec this Tuesday. I may have them by the end of the week. Only positive I've heard in weeks.

GSC is the hold up according to the machine shop. I ordered through them and they said the S3's have been back ordered for a while. Once they have them and clearance everything motor goes to my friends shop. I'm taking a day or 2 off work to do some other stuff to the car while they are putting the motor together and in the car.
