my friend emailed lots of pics of this car on fire, I think he was trying to hurt my feelings(he's a non-DSM owner). This is truly some sad pics, at least the guy was ok, guess it's time for him to start building another 10 sec monster. Hopefully he'll just turn up the boost and keep the naaawz away.

yeah, my sister who still lives in Toledo sent me a link to that civic forum. i used to be close friends w/ the shop and the driver. the shop owner and his wife kinda screwed me over and a few friends. but i dont have any beef w/ the driver. brad is still a really nice kid. anyways, here's what i posted when i put this up on Supramania. its too bad that a DSM had to go down, but karma has a way of coming back around. i cant say i feel bad for them cuz they had it coming.

a little back story. this is a race car campaigned by a DSM shop that i used to be close with. They are Showdown Motorsports and are primarily DSM guys. but they will do honda swaps and misc paint and body as well as electronics and shit. their quality of work is subpar though. I had them do body and paint on my dads 86 Trans am. they sanded it down to metal and started to fill some of the minor dimples on the body. then they moved it outside and let it sit for about a month.... uncovered and unlocked. durng this time, the car developed surface rust and someone jacked my nice tail lights out of it. never saw hide nor hair of the tail lights or reparations and still had to pay for the work they put into it, even though it all had to be redone. this is just MY experience and i was friends w/ the owner, his wife and his son... imagine what kinda work Non-friends get.

i cant say i feel bad for this happening to them. this is God's way of getting back at them for all the bad shit they have done in the past.

the guy that owns the shop, hes the one not n the fire suit standing on the trackside of the fence. his wife is the slut with the auburn hair. Bill, the owner, used to own a boat speed shop. at some point, he was being audited by the IRS or something of that nature. but, soon after that, his marina mysteriously burnt down and Bill got an insurance settlment. then he opened up a buy here-pay here car lot and worked w/ DSM's alot, which is when i met him; i was going to buy a 1G AWD from him. then shortly after that, he closed the car lot and opened Showdown. lots of shadyness going on.

That's not karma it's just bad luck and not alot of smarts on a first pass. The car had a hks 4g63 t4 manifold, full race motor, custom t4 FP turbo. Obviously alot of time and money and work went into the car and the loss of it will be a loss for the dsm community. But one thing you don't do is make a first pass on a car like that on the spray especially with no fire extinguishers. From what I have seen online the kid was a decent guy and people do change. I would just hate to be him right now.

There was also the discussion about a group of kids in the crowd talking shit to the guy while his car burnt to the ground then trying to talk shit with him at his trailer later with a camera to tape it all. Takes real big balls to try to kick a guy while he's down.
