got good at using handbrake to corner in the winter, you know playing around and stuff, then i go to show a friend how to do it, bammm curb, lol. i did end up showing him after i paid for $45 for a new rim and to have tire mounted, haha. learned my lesson after that one, and cut out the stupid **** 99% of the time now too.

Well if were gonna speak of the *** rice things I've done. Well when I first got an Altima I went on E-bay and bought the **** out of all the gay blue lights I could. I had wheel lights, licence plate bolt lights, windshield washer lights, interior blue light, even had these weird lights that never shut off that you stick in your headlights. Basically every LED imaginable. I learned my lesson once I got pulled over and found out the ticket is like $60 or something a light. Of course I got off with a warning. Man was that stupid... but I betcha in a year I'll look back at my car now and wonder what the hell I was thinking.

I bought a few neon lights, some mugen stickers, those blue lisence plate covers on my old eg..
also within a week of buying it I was reversing out of my friends driveway and a no parking sign jumped out of nowhere and ripped the corner of my front bumper off and busted the clips. I had to use coat hangar wire and duct tape to fix it and make it look decent... fuggin no parking signs...

Thankfully I haevn't had any major dumb things (that i can think of) with the EK

Went out and bought those "Powered by Honda" seat belt covers for all seat belts in my car.

They were outta my car within 2 weeks.

are all of you too young to remember the "uni-wiper" mod? that was like the first thing I did to my 1st gen crx, along with a "[H] HONDA" window banner...I also had a 5" monster tach...this was all 99ish when this occured, shortly after it was all removed


*uni-wiper not shown*

Man I wish I had kept my pics of all the old school ricer mod fashion trends. The days of all the stickers, window banners, and other cheap *** accessories.

I ran my car almost dry of oil.

I also did the parking brake turn a lot and then spun out into a ditch one day because my rear tires were worn in random spots and the sidewalls were warping. That was the end of e-brake turns for me.
