Wow,

Since i got my maxima (about a month ago), i had only been starting and letting the SX get up to temp, never driving it. Well todayi drove it to my new apartment (first time away from home <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>), and it reminded me of why i LOVE sports cars!

Sitting in the car reminded me of why sports cars were built...pure driving excelence in every way. The seating position is just right, and the side bolsters hold you steady in the seat. The shifter eases in and out of the gears with confidence, and the sound is exciting (Apex N1/Hotshot Header/Injen Intake).

I drove it nice all the way from home untill the last road to the apartment complex. I eased through the bottom half of first gear, and went WOT at about 3500RPM's, and the car sang as it rose through the RPM's. I shift to 2nd gear and break the tires loose in a aymphony of squeling and rumbling exhuast. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'> .

Now i remember why this is my project car. Its dreamy <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>.

i must say i know how u feel, after i wrecked my 240, and waiting for the silvia parts to come in, i had to drive, 1) mom's 95 grand prix w/ v6 and 160hp towing that 2 metric ton mother fucker (it's like 4236lbs), or 2) bro's 2001 golf... FWD w/ super power everything, can't even get feed back from the steering wheel, and pressing the clutch is like pressing the accelerator. &nbsp;and than, it was fixed, WOW, the car glides like a beauty. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cool:'> now i have rally edition springs on it, it's sweet

Fuck its almost been a week and a half. I hate not having a clutch, but even more I hate not having the money to fix it <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('> Fuck the govt. they should pay for my pain and suffering, for a reason I dont know why.
