-New window beltline seals
-Mazda OEM front splashguards
-2009 Mazda RX-8 factory wheels
-RE Amemiya Super Dolphin Tail catback exhaust.

Can't. Wait.

LOL I started with "oh I just need tires", now that I have added springs, struts, gauges, random cooling mods, and exhaust, I think I am going to relocate the battery. I dont know what will run out first, the cash or my wife's patience

Shit. Forgot about the Mazsport cooling fan mod kit I have as well. It might not get installed. We are working on making a different version

And the wife only needs to know what she needs to know. Catch my drift. I bought all the big ticket items with the money from my FB I sold to IH8DSM. The wheels blew my budget, but I got them so fucking cheap I could not pass them up.

Fuck, well looks like I am out of DGRR... had a pretty nasty accident working on my dads truck, and now I have a broken collar bone that is going to prevent me driving a manual transmission for two months, plus I am going to burn through my time off from work with doctors visits..... THIS SUCKS, I have spent alot of time and money getting the car ready, in fact I finished this morning!!!!

Sure, after repeating it many times for the paramedics I pretty much have it down .

I am usually always super careful when getting under a vehicle, usually multiple fail-safes to protect me. I was working on my dads truck and had it on ramps. I got the chalks to block the wheels, but they never made it behind the wheels. Turns out the moment you pop a shift linkage loose is a bad time to realize the e brake isn't working. :epic facepalm: The truck (a big Sierra, thank goodness) came off the ramps (my feet were sticking out the front of the truck and I was laying on my side), and the front bumper pinned me and drug me about 6 feet before I could twist to lay flat to let it pass over me. I had to get up and run to the truck to stop it, then run back up the driveway to get my phone cause I was pretty sure I needed an ambulance.

So the result? a snapped right clavicle and severe bruising and contusions. I have to drive my moms suv for two months since I dont even own a automatic vehicle (unless Phil wants to loan me the Comso, LOL)

So needless to say, I am VERY fucking lucky I just have a broken clavicle and bruising, not a funeral. I am still pissed at myself for such a careless mistake..
