So I love guns, pistols, and assualt rifles to be exact not to leave out all of the H&K goodies like the mp-5's, and ump 45's and other various smg's. So I am living in auburn for the remainder of the summer finishing up getting my pilots license then heading to B'ham to work for the summer. I am crashing with my friends for about a month [free rent :)] So I was on my PC looking at some of the many gun videos I have downloaded when my friend David walks in and he is like "BADASS! Whwere did you get those?" So I went to the website and showed him. I then clicked on the events section and was like. "look dude, there is a gunshow in Orlando, FL tomorrow." He was like, "Sweet, wanna go?" I said sure. So I called my buddy Kevin who lives in Tampa, FL (he also just got a '91 Z N/A) and was like, dude we are coming to FL and he said that it was cool that we could stay with him then he would drive the hour and a half to Orlando and go to the gun show with us the next day. So we take some showers so we won't be stinking up my fine ass bitch of a car for the 9 hour 500 mile drive (i went speed limit the whole damn way). We get in tampa at like 3am and chill for a lil bit before hittin the sack. Next day we get up and head out to the show at about 1pm. All I can say is NICE! and I am taking some $$$ with me next time, I passed up the chance to buy too many nice rifles :) Anyway we snapped a few pics at the show and headed out and did whatever. Now onto the part that some of you may actually give a f*%& about. It's early monday morning, like 12:30am, and me and David are headed back to AU. I am using cruise control as usual on my long trips and had my brights on because my dims suck. I was pissing off a few 18 wheelers and they would put their brights on once I passed them and keep it that way. Well this one guy didn't want to give up. He got right behind me and road my ass trying to scare me or some crap, then came up beside me and wouldn't leave no matter how fast or slow I went he just stayed right there with me. I said, "ok, he wants to play" I floored it and got up to about 125 or 130 and did that for about 20 seconds. I came off of the gas after I was a good half mile ahead of him and about 5 seconds after that I hear this knocking noise. I thought to myself. "oh shit" So I pull over at the exit which luckily happend to be there too see just how bad it was. It only got louder as I got back on the on-ramp I said shit and cut the car off and coasted to a stop. The car started trying to cut off by itself anyway. I said, "shit dude, I ain't cranking this shit again" Well my buddy david don't know jack shit about cars and he was like what's wrong. I said I have a rod knocking, really bad. I had to explain what exactly that was and he was like well damn. So I call some friends and tell them what's up then I bust out the gold triple A card which I had to use for my friend Kevin the day before because he locked his keys in his Z while it was still running at Downtown Disney for 3 hours lol. Anyway A couple of cops stop by after we are there for about an hour and a half and I tell them what's up and that I already had a tow truck coming and all and that he should be there shortly. Well the town truck shows up in what seems like a couple of hours later. Lots of pics below of that. The dude what cool but he broke one of my underbody lights while putting the car onto the flatbed :( oh well. Triple A tows you 100 miles for free and after that its $2.50 per mile, well we had about 175 miles left in the trip so he costed me $187 to get towed back to AU. Oh well. HA. We get back into town at about 5am and I am greeted by my buddy Andrew who had yet to go to sleep and was outside smoking a cigarette. Everyone said that considering that its probably going to cost me at least $2,500 to get my crap fixed, it just looked like I didn't give a crap. Well HA! Yes I do, that money was going towards and brand spanking new R6 damnit. Oh well. I will just have some more work to do. I usually hold that attitude considering the fact that something worse could have happend. I call my buddy brad who some of you may know and Z-Soulutions back in B'ham. He works with Chip from GMS racing. I am probably heading out today or tomorrow and getting towed back to B'ham to his shop, where it will sit until it is fixed :) After that I am parking it and driving some other car because I am sick of all the damn problems and up keep of that car. Anyway I will shut up and post the pics now, though there is much more to write about. Heading out from AU
 Birds living in the rafters a a gas station on the way to tampa.
 First fuel (damn $2.26 per gallon)
 Don't park your car under the birds, X marks the spot!
 Probably the same fueling station
 Tampa @ Kevin and John's place the next day.
 Kevins parents house, where we washed our cars, just to have it rain 2 hours later :)
 Pulled over at a station to put on the t-tops after being rained on on the freeway.
 The gun show. They wouldn't let me take the cam in, that kid looking at the camera is just some loser that got in the way =/

 Back in AU at about 5am or so, now I gotta get back to B'ham =/ I figure its about 100 miles away and triple A tows that far for free so I will just call them and get it towed about 115 miles to brads show for about $40 :)
 I know this post was long as crap, but I am car less and don't have to be anywhere right now. so Yeah, I didn't tell you to read it all. Also if some of you are wondering about my "rice" mobile, well I guess you can call it "riceless" now because I have no stickers on the car, no shoulder pads and no wind, though the mounts are still there and I can put it on whenever I like. I just got sick of the damn car looking the same way for the past 3 years so I just took it all off. Wanted it to look different. Nuff said.
