Ouch.

I got my ES Subframe bushings in. So Im droping the rear subframe over the weekend to install and inspect how everything is doing. Probably clean all the blood off the car from running over so many animals from the deals gap trip; kinda grossssssssssss.

I need to find a new job, so I can fund this coupe project I want to start.

Anybody know of any place hiring, that pays decent?

I wouldn't worry about it too much. According to most everyone here, it could be laying frame and you'd still be able to drive it over the Rocky Mountains and then down the Rubicon Trail.

Well I just looked at my car while it was up on a curb, the exhaust is literally less than one inch from the ground, but it doesn't hit the ground too much when I am going down 275. I am going Sat morning to get the shit welded back up right. Hopefully after that my shit will just never have to be taken off ever again but thats just not realistic

I wouldn't try to hold up an exhaust with zip ties if I was you. First of all they wont carry the weight since your exhaust is so low its probably heavy and plastic doesn't react well with heat.
