Here's a quick pic of my sexy Zetec:

It's the last one you'll see as it is dead as of last night, but it still looks nice!

I like it and I don't mean to rag on you but why did you get red wires and paint the VCT on the cover red when your car is blue?

I like the red on the blue car. To make it even better, I think that red silicone adapters in the intake would have made it looke even nicer.

How did she die?

Hector-you're bustin' my balls man!

EX-I was just about to see if I could order a set of red couplings in a few days to have the whole red/chrome effect, that's kinda wierd that you read my mind like that!

I was driving a new road, taking a friend home, and I underestimated a turn. It kept getting tighter and tighter where I thought it would be straightening out. We went off the road at ~40-45 and hit a tree or something. We rolled at least one time and landed on the wheels on the same side of the road, but facing the wrong direction. There were no major injuries-I burned my arm real bad on the air bag and I had my hand on the gear shift, so when we hit, I ripped it out of the console. That screwed up my hand kinda bad, but nothing was broken. My passenger knocked out the window with his head and cut his knee on something. He was complaining about a sore neck and back, but we were just beaten up by it. We are both doing fine and will make a full recovery.

Actually I was thinking of doing mine in yellow, but I'm debating on the "Rice Factor" Blue would just look to plain, and red would contrast too much, yellow would contrast, but in a nice way. But I still want to paint the brake calipers red.

Wow, glad to hear that your ok. Sounds like a pretty bad wreck. Are you gonna fix the car or just junk it?
BTW, engine bay looks good.

It's as junk as junk can be! I don't know how many times we rolled, but it was definitely too many. I'll probably go Tuesday or Wednesday to see what can be salvaged and sold. I don't know how well the under hood stuff fared, so don't beg for anything just yet.

Eric, Let me know when you go to look at it. I might be able to help you determine what can and can't be saved. I'm glad to hear your O.K. Sucks about the car though.

Hey Eric, please don't scare us like this.
I'm glad you're OK, and sorry for your car... that was a nice one.

See you at the 28th meet,

Tiv
