Yup. Had an almost full ride scholarship there freshamn year 01. When 911 happened and one of the kids in my class was investigated for stealing hazardous material from the bio chem lab i transfered.

I regret that to this day. Biggest regret of my life but for me that was seriously a really scary time. My good friends dad died that day. I was you and immature and scared and made a bad decision. If i stayed there i could have been in basically a different life right now. I loved it there too.

I checked up last year and was accepted to go back but sadly i just can’t afford it now.

the frame is solid. it’s the pass side rocker thats got the rot and small spots here and there but nothing major and you can’t really see it on the car unless you lay on the ground. i’m gonna cut out the bad spots and weld in some new metal. i don’t know if i want a body kit thought.

Though it did take longer than I thought, as predicted, the drifting thread eventually turned into a 240 rust discussion.

Its an industrial park. During snow storms a bunch of has have been up there from like 11 to 2 am fucking around with no cops or cars anywhere to be seen. its basically the end of a dead end road
