    Fix the bird in prep for fall racing
    Pimping in my neon :cool:
    Maybe sneak off to Vermont for long wekends
    Work :(

    And you?

    me:
    nothing really,enjoying summer :D the last 2 years i had to go to summer school. this year i focused a little more and i got a car.i was going to make a new post here about how my car is comeing, but i didnt think anyone would really care. it didnt get too far yet. so far i, fixed the clutch master cylinder and got the car running and driveing.bought 4 rims and tires because 2 of them were bent from the wreck. i just bought both fenders and both bumpers i need for it.now i have to save up to get the frame pulled and all the parts under-coated so i can get them on the car.

    i just got a bigger paper route that hopefully will help me a little. i should be makeing about $130-$150 every 4 weeks. my dad knows a local body shop owner, ( he went to school with him ) and he said he'd pull the frame, under-coat everything ,get the nasty ( about basketball sized) dent out of my quarter panel and fix my passenger side door. ( the first day i got it running me and my dad went out, came back and he opened the door into the fence, there a quater size mark in the door now)

    sorry for the long post [img]redface.gif[/img]

              I'm working full time at the university's library. I'm a student worker in the dept that manages all the computers and electronics in the entire library.

              In August I'll be moving into a house with my girlfriend and a couple of friends. That's going to be a choir with all the crap that I have.

              I've given up on modding the bird. Trying to afford a motorcycle.

                        I just sat for a couple minutes thinking about what i've been/i'm gonna do this summer, and nothing came up. So my answer is, nothing.
