Well, first off, I'm in less trouble than I thought I'd be, but I'm still in some deep ***** whenever my dad gets home. But at least my mom is in a good mood. I may or may not be on the boards a lot for the next week at least, I'm not quite sure. I'm definitely not going to have the car for personal use for the next month. I just happen to be able to get the computer now.
Deal is, I went to see Todd today in Anderson County (the county next door) and met up with him and saw the first set of Metco control arms installed today. MAN are the beautiful! Todd was extremely impressed with the car afterwards..."It's really flat, it feel's so tight" He had a smile going from ear to ear the second we got out onto the road. Well, I know I grabbed the oh ***** handle more than a few times!
On the way between Metco and the shop where Metco has a lift, Todd let me drive. The car was just amazing! I've never driven anything faster and I was just floored at how it performed. I don't know about cubes, but once I hit 20 or 30mph that thing started pullin' like no tomorrow. Credit where it's due; Todd is the first member to let me drive his car AND I helped with the install of the arms...when you guys see them say "WOW, look at the STICKERS!"
I also was nervous thinking that the car might get away from me in the sense that I wasn't read for it, but the car threw no suprises other than me saying "HOLY CRAP!" It was a predictable car and I felt comfortable behind the wheel. I'm suprised Todd felt comfortable with me behind the wheel:D
But the car is a lot better than the Infiniti G35 I've driven and the 2004 Acura TL I've been driven around in. The pedals and steering wheel were just right, perfect...the brakes didn't throw you in the wind-shield the second you touched them like the G35, but man they would stop that car quick! The gas pedal felt really good as well. And the steering feel/control was awesome.
I also asked if I could even just learn a little bit about the big secret and because I'm cool he told me. Ya'll are gonna ***** your pants when they finish his car. It's such a pity I forgot my camera:alone:
Anyways, I guess I'll be chatting with you all shortly enough! I sure have a lot more respect for my car now, and a whole new lot of love for the Marauder:rock:

P.S. after I got in trouble my mom said "Don't rush everything, just wait your turn, you'll definitely need a car by the time you're 18"
