Default My new paint job.

What cha think? Its the new 2 tone. Special edition Just got back from a 800 mile round trip From Newport Beach To Yosemite. only took about 5 1/2 hours each way with out stopping for gas. I even managed to get 420 miles to a full tank. thats with a brand new TPS sensor, New EGR valve, tune up, oil change and all this other stuff done to it. no intake or exhaust though.

sunday: Well i just got home so i'll write a quick summary of what my last few days were like. Sunday night i couldn't get anyone to cover my shift so i had to work, i got off at 7 got home showered and packed up and started driving to yosemite at 9:30pm haha. got there about 3 was too late so we all slepted in the car and woke up at 10 to go sking for the first time which was fun. I only feel like twice and learned realyl quick. was amazying with all the snow and the weather was great.

Monday: after skiing all day we decided to rent a cabin so we checked in and had dinner at a nice restraunt and just went back to the cabin to hang out.

Tuesday: woke up at 10:45 and had to be checked out by 11. we were about 20 minutes late but the lady was nice and didn't mind. had b-fast and drove down to yosemite valley, dam what a nice place. did a few little hikes down to lower falls and walked around and played in the snow all day. and started driving back at 7pm and got home around 12ish. here's a pic of lower falls. it was nice

oh yeah, and on the way home on the 99 freeway i was cruising at about 90mph and i looked in my rear view i see the famous orange bulbs on the inside of the low beam(crown victoria, same cars police use) so i continue to cruise at 90 but slow down a bit just to see if its a cop, but the whole time he stays 1 lane to the right of me and about 5 car lengths back. so i think to myself since he hasn't pulled me over yet its probly not a police car. so i get in the mood to do a little spirited driving and hit 100 mph for a good 5 minutes and the whole time he stays with me. so i knew for sure it couldn't be a police car. well then after having my fun i decide to slow down to 85 and light a smoke as i slow down within 1 minute the car passes me up and i look and its a freakin HIGHWAY Patrol car. i was thinking why the hell didn't i get pulled over. i dunno why but i'm sure glad i didn't. what makes me even more happy was that i was driving with my high beam on almost the whole time he was behind me and when he passed me up i was soo shocked i didn't even realized i still had my highs on until he was out of my sight. man, if i was in a civic it would have been a ticket for sure.
