Unhappy wrecked the corolla :(

So I hit a tree stump last night backing out of some woods... I was trying to get down to the abandoned air strip so some friends and I could race, and I would post the video.

Sucky, the dirt road was flooded, so we had to back up like 100 feet so we could turn around. Now, my darling husband put like 0% tint on his car, so ofcourse I can't see out of my back window, i roll the windows down, and it barely helps, meanwhile, people are trying to guide me on 2-ways, but the dumbass behind me turns his headlights off because he thought he was blinding me, and as I am backing up I hit this tree stump

I think I want to just buy him a body kit, considering this is the 4th time the bumper will have to be replaced. Stupid rear-end accidents!

Where can I find a decent kit for a decent price for a 2002 Corolla S? Johnathan said something like $400 for the kit that will fit his car, but i can't find it anywhere on the net. HELP!

Well I think the TRD kit looks great on that car but it is expensive like $1300.. the thing is toyotaguys.com had it on sale for a sweet blowout of about $350... But when I went to their site it redirected me to yahoo Shopping and said that the new site was comming soon

Check Ebay!

well first let me say...

RACING ON PUBLIC STREETS IS DUMB... Try going on a track and the street cannot possibly compare...

but it's nice u want to get a body kit for ur hubby... it touches my heart and I see it as a very sweet gesture...

There are alot of skirt kits avail for hte stock corolla bumper... try looking on http://www.corollacustomz.com for some ideas...

I hope u find what ur looking for there...

guy: I want to race you
Keichi Tsuchiya: This is a main road... we only race on tracks
guy: You used to race on the street... I want to become a pro racer like you... that's why I race on the street...
KT: I'll be waiting for u on the track...
guy: are u scared? scared of racing on the road?
KT: Yes I'm scared
guy: I am not!
KT: What scares me is... that I'd push you to your death... and endanger other ppl as well... you should be scared too...

ummmm she did say abandoned airstrip, which the US is littered with, most of them are almost 2 miles long,

so they make wicked race venues, since they're usually in the boondocks

we bought embelms from that guy, he's awesome.

As far as desolate places, well, we found this place in Holley Navarre, about 30 minutes away, called OLF CHOCTAW. The road is nearly 8 miles long, its where that dumbass wrecked his civic. Parts of the road are a mile - 2 miles straight with short curves. We found out there WAS an airfield, but its no longer there.

There is only one track here 1/8 mile (johnathan's car does 14.6 in the 1/4 ) but i refuse to go back. I paid $15 to race, staged 45 minutes, Then a car blew its engine, caught on fire, and they closed the track, did I get my $15 back? No. Will I ever go back? Nope. I'll find desolate areas to race before I will go back to Emerald Coast Raceway and blow $15 to stage for 45 minutes.

Then again, around here after 3am, the roads are desolate. Nothing. Nate has an s2000, we'll go and race little ricer kids around town, but thats at 3am when trust me, there is NOBODY around. I won't dare race near traffic, I've seen many cars get totalled because of stupidity.

Price: $415.00
Regularly: $450.00

4 Piece fiberglass body kit. Kits do not come painted. May require modification to fit properly. We recommend the prepping and installation by a professional bodyshop. (* Shipping not included. Shipping typically between $130 - $230)


Fiberglass? You'd break it in a week. Btw. Audiostyles went out of business, so no custom cut kit for you!

Remember johnathan, we're fixing to get orders, which means no car for however long we're gone, PLUS who is the one always talkin about having kids?

Whoa whoa is Johnathan your hubby as in silverstreakin'??There is no way hi '02 Rolla with exhaust work is pulling a 14.6 in the 1/4, is that a typo or someone else with a different car?? I would think he is doing low 16s or very high 15s if he is a great driver and has more done to the car than I thought....

Maybe that stupid quarter mile machine thing was wrong I used this little radar-detecting thing that measures your 1/4 time. It could be defective. It said my honda ran 15.8 in the quarter, and I hardly believed that. ::shrugs:: I'll have to get it from Daniel and make a trip out some where and try it again.

btw, johnathan is my husband.

Oh, OK, you used one of those. Yeah that thing is useless if it said the car runs a 14.6. I doubt it could even hit a 15.8 like it said your car does and the Rolla beats your car by a bunch as I hear... It's all good though...

I'm thinking about getting rid of the honda actually, my mom said she would co-sign on a truck, since i think I am getting totally out of this so-called import scene. tired of being pulled over, tired of being harrassed. Johnathan wants a family, can't very well tote around a baby in 2 lowered cars. Mine was lowered 3 1/2 inches, until the cv joints broke, and there is NO WAY he's ever putting a child seat in that death trap he calls a car.

You know its been rear-ended 3 times in ONE YEAR?
