Looking at it again, the C-Pillars made it but the roof collapsed to the B-pillars. My two sisters were in the front seats as it slid off the road, hit a concrete wall backwards, lifted the front end up in the air, and it fell back down on the passenger doors. Everybody was ok although my sister who was driving took the ambulance ride.

Just got the car today!!!

IT DOESN'T NEED A CLUTCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The clutch pedal bracket is broken, common problem. This will save me a TON of time/money.

Woot! More to come. Its raining and I'm back at work!

try Saddle soap on the leather, apply with a soft facial scrub brush, wipe clean with a damp not wet towel, and then apply a good leather conditioner like meguiers. it wont fix physical damage, but youd be suprised how much is just dirt and crud build up. And the black cherry mica paint is awesome, I have a 2005 Shinka and when its nice and clean it turns heads everywhere it goes! ps. the clutch pedal issue is a factory recall, Id talk to a dealer, I recieved a letter about it and everything.
