well, actually it is. i propose two courses of action which i may take in the near future of my automotive hobby and i ask your help in choosing which to take… 1.) should i buy a toyota parts car to swap into the corolla(see 2turboZ’s forsale thread in the auto. classifieds)? OR 2.) should i buy parts for my speed for this spring and summer? some more backround…the toyota i would ideally like to keep the way it is for a year or so to truly execute my build plans and i would like to use the speed to hunt down unsuspecting [nyspeeders @ dunnville](mailto:nyspeeders@dunnvil%20le). but i have two great options with either way i choose and im on the fence. so throw some ideas my way or persuade me:ohnoes: ---
