I'm bored so here's my story.... haha

I started driving a 1982 280zx auto which was rwd.
I then bought a 1990 civic hb because of the honda ricer craze 3 yrs ago when I was 16 and my stupid retarded fucking friends convinced me. I really wasn't into modding cars at the time. I didn't even know what an integra or anything was. I just wanted my own car and civics were cheap. I had like 1500 saved up and my dad said he'd split half the cost of a car with me. I found hondatech and became interested in modding cars a bit, but still not to knowlegable I got some civic with some 17inch white rims, new cherry black paint, shaved door handles, and some shitty fucking coilovers for 3k. I thought I was bad ass with a clean car, my retarded ass ricer mentality. Everyone has that stage. I quickly educated myself on Honda-tech and quickly learned that fwd is a waste of my fucking time and my car was a peice of shit... so I looked at all options available. I wanted something rwd so I looked at all my options z32TT, mkIII and MKIV supra, and fd rx-7 were out of my budget even thought i really wanted either of the three. Then I remembered my best friend had a brother who used to have an s13 that was auto and he told me it was rwd one day. I quickly became interested and started researching 240's online. I also looked at mr2's. When I spend money on something I make sure I know what I'm buying. Even then I still make some mistakes...but I wasn't going to fuck up my next big purchase. I saw an s14 and I decided then and there that I was going to buy one. I became interested because of the powere you can achieve out of an sr swap mainly. I wanted a fun a fun fast street car. I'm not all into drifting, but grip interests me alot. My search for about 10 months came to an end about a year ago when I found an s14 se with all options except abs and vlsd for 3,000 that was cleantitle but had minor body damage to fender and door, straight frame. I thought man this is a great deal. Found a car that was perfect to start modding. I busted my ass for about a year now to save up enough to mod the shit out of it. I bought some wheels to start off with then coilovers. And all these parts for an sr swap. Then I had just saved up more than enough to order my sr and swap it during my college spring break up until about 2 weeks ago some stupid fucking bitch deciding to make a quick lane chnage to avoid hitting the car in front of her when she had enough distance and time to just causing another accident with me. Fucking messed up any plans I had recently. Still waiting on my insurance to see whats going to happen. I only have liability so hopefully i won't get assed out on the money for car. Now I am car less and I have to find another s14 which I will be probably shelling out anywhere from 4500-5500 just to have again and start from phase 1. Luckily none of the aftermarket parts I have bought did not get messed up because alot are not on the car. So all I lost was a cheap s14 I have to always remind myself that I could have lost my life and I'm lucky to be alive, but I'm in such a shitty situation right now with no car and a peice of shit that I have to borrow that has been giving me problems because I have to commute 30 mins to school a day. Whateve, I'm just waiting up on some friends to give me a call back and see what I'm doing for tonight.
