Lessons fromm a 19 year old
Im bored.. Here are my lessons learned for haivng an svx or whatever. I dont care if some of its wrong, because some of it probably is.
First of all I have a 94 LS-l I guess it is... its red and FWD with 51,000 miles Here are the "lessons": 1. Get an SVX, they are cool 2. Don't get an SVX if you are serious about racing 3. Unplug the Tranny Transistor 4. Beware terrible gas mileage on premium gas 5. Use Restore Oil additive 6. Repaint the wiper arms 7. Dont buy wheels from a shady wheel company. (wheelguyz.com= shady, no good, huge problems now) 8. Put a gugiaro decal on the car 9. It gets lots of looks, so make it look good 10. Be prepared for lots of questions 11. Always cut the wheel hard when coming out of the driveway. - Being a firefighter and making emergency runs in the middle of the night and going fast out of the driveway has led to many, many nasty sounds at 3 am. 12. GET AWD, not FWD 13. Stock rims are 16x7.5, when upgrading, change to a wider rim 14. 130mph by a cop is no good, but at least he doesnt have time to chase. 15. Get a KN flat panel filter 16. Pep Boys 2 ton jack doesnt hold the car (my car at least) 17. DONT F*(^K it up. 18. A guy pulling up to you in a Supra Turbo rolls down his window stares at your car and says, "damn" feels good. Return the favor. thats it, have fun, drive safe, dont wreck the car, and dont correct me. Just add on.. -bryan |
