    Ok, now pics of action yet.. but here's the first thing that happened.... um.. joel.. u might wanna look away

    went up to hoodoo (skiing place) to go tubing with the autocross club and a lot of friends. everyon1 had their trucks.. i had the awd.. when we were done, my friends jumped in the back of the truck and i went solo in the pro. went fliyin out of the snow packed parking lot doing cookies around their truck.. it was cool. we went out onto the road that takes u to the lodge, he slid on purpose then stopped, i almost clipped the truck but slid just past.. wasnt expecting him to stop. when we hit the street, the truck comes out doin the "S" slides, i do the same, then i caught a rut and swung the car into a 180, mashed the gas and went again. this time went TO hard, slid down the hill and off to the side. slammed the entire passenger side 16" into the 8ft tall snowbank. first thing i thought of was the mirror, ya it's shot... well i said **** it, was gonna go in reverse, but instead put in gear, and hit it.. it was so cool. had snow flyin from all 4's everywhere. every1 thought it was cool seein a car do that. when we got the lodge, everyone who saw what happened ran over, and looked at the car... not 1 bit of damage.. and the mirror was perfect... SCORE..

      First week I had it I went sideways into the curb at nearly 20 cause I wasn't expecting it to be so tail-happy.

      BTW, if you're planning on doing much snow stuff with it you might want to put the differential lock switch back in. It doesn't really make a difference on snow in town but it would help with drifts.

          Yeah, it's good for that. I kicked the crap out of a few AWD Subarus with that thing... it's a great system.

                    well, got hit by a minivan a couple months before that. no big deal... thought we had the fender bent out enough to where it wouldnt be an issue. but, there were a couple spots on the track that were questionable. specifically, just before turn 3 i think, there was a bump. ground was raised about 3-5 inches... like a natural speed bump. and unless you hit it doin nothing, you were bottoming out. every car. hit it good the first time, and the tire caught the fender and bent it back in. sucked for trying to turn, as you can see.

                            Don't have any action shots of the awd protege gtr sleeper from hell yet. But here's a cool shot of the bpt frankengtx doing what it does best, from the Doo Wop rally last month. If it hadn't been for an electrical gremlin that parked us on stage 1 of day 2, we'd have finished on teh podium on both days. As it is, I'm pretty happy with 3rd overall on day 1 against a bunch of bigbuck soobies...

                            '90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and
                            '90 AWD Protege, yet another GTR swap, Open class rallycar with a Toyota GT4 gearbox swap, thus crossing the line between hobby and mental illness. And a Brabus E55 K8, removing all doubt.
