Traded it in and bought out the lease on my Focus, how fucking depressing is that?

I'm getting drunk.
Noooooooooooooooooo! but yes, get drunk

Local muffler shop Installed stainless works retro h pipe catback. Its pure eargasm.

Previous set up was legato axle back and magnaflow res xpipe. The new set up is quieter inside the cab and drones way less. Funny coming from what basically is a three muffler set up to SW and its loud only on the outside. Until you get on it and the cab has more volume, but puts a smile on.
Where as the old set up droned all the time. The SW only drones at 1800 to 2000 rpm. :thumbsup:

Hit a hawk at about 77 mph... he was flying in for dinner on the road side, not sure how fast he was going.

Impaled in my grill, messed up the front bumper, slightly. Blood went everywhere... top was up.

Really sad to see such a fine bird dead on my car. Knocked him off with a windshield cleaner tool... people were looking at me like I killed it with a gun. People were not happy and neither was I.

I am so grateful he did not hit the windshield... not sure what would have happened due to the speeds.

BOOM! S7 edge Photos do not do these justice. I will get my DSLR running soon. It may be placebo, but I can tell a huge difference in unsprung weight. Of course, the PP wheels I am replacing are not known to be light, but I also had 1" wheel spacers on all 4 corners.

Specs:
F: 19x10 +35mm ... 275/35/19 NT05
R: 19x11.5 +55mm ... 305/35/19 NT05

I know this all too well. I hit a bald eagle while driving up to guard duty one morning while heading over Donner summit. He was on the other side of the road gaining lift over center divide, fish in talons. Has it gained air over the divide it wasn't enough and I just caught him on my windshield. Big bird too. I wasn't sure what it was only that it cart wheeled over the roof as I saw it in my rear view mirror. I pulled over to check out damage, cracked window, and dead bird. Go figure. What are the odds of that...

Once I got to the unit I called BASH contact (bird air strike hazard) so I could contact the right people and let them know. Not that it mattered any but they say it happens every so often has the birds hunt in the Truckee river. They think I actually didn't kill it but just stunned / knocked it out since it was so big. I don't know. I didn't really move it since it was on the side out of traffic. It looked dead but I'm not expert. I figured I'm not going to check since if it woke and wasn't dead it would sure in the hell be pissed off. No thank you.

Years ago I had an owl fly in the window of my Dodge ram in the middle of the night. After a bunch of screaming, swerving and parking in a ditch I had a cab full of feathers and an angry bird in the back seat. I don't know if I'd call that a bird strike or a hijacking.

Somebody scraped my Mustang so it was in the body shop for a week. For the last week I have been driving my 2010 Corolla XRS, which has a 2.4 with 158 horsepower and a 5 speed automatic. It's got some good pickup off the line for an econobox but the engine really runs out of breath and it's not fast or even zippy. But it's a good dependable daily driver.

After not driving my 5.0, I picked it up today and went for a drive. The 3.73 gears, 6-speed manual and the V8 was so intoxicating. I kept leaving it in 2nd and punching it just to feel the pickup.

I was flying my Phantom 4 about a month ago and hit a hawk. It totaled the drone and the hawk.
