FINALLY! Car in surgery...

I dropped my car off yesterday at D.A.D.S. aka David's Auto Damage Specialists. Right now they are testing the frame and prolly prepping my door and lower fender for the paint. My fender should be in sometime this week. Hopefully I'll have my car back by next week.
Man its crazy I got a Mustang Convertible for my rental and 2 wheel drive SUCKS! my SVX tires are bald and I still stick to the road. Last night I was driving like a granny in the mustang cause even at 30 mph I felt like I was gonna fly off the road. And the suspension sucks too. I can feel every tiny bump in the road and the car only has 6k I want my baby back!

I test drove a Mustang GT before I got my first WRX...the saleslady let me bust 180s on the roads behind the dealership...frickin fun as hell. However, yeah RWD isn't as easy to drive as AWD.

There was an article in a car magazine, Grip vs Drift, I would definitely have to go with gripping with AWD

Yep that was her! I think she will look great after her face lift. I'm gonna take her out for ice cream cause she might be a bit drousy from the anesthesia

Exactly. Not as easy.....much more forgiving. I loved my WRX, I could drive it like a donkey and still look like a superhero.

Beware though that it can breed bad driving habits......and once you let off the throttle, you no longer have AWD.
