Here's a pic of smush from today.

I don't think I've ever posted pics of smush on this forum before. Anyway here's one from alki beach in Seattle today. Not bad for a wrecked car with 265k miles right?

Beautiful! Very much the look I'm going to try to get going on mine. The wheels look top notch, and I love the driving lights. Can't want to get my own set. Also, do you have the euro style lights with yellow fogs? That looks killer!

Lookin' good. I really like the low spec Euros. I need to find a set that won't set me back an arm and a leg.

Is that an old 10 speed bike on the top?

Yep it's a old 10 speed nishiki olympic that a family member handed down to me. Needs new tires and a tune up, but damn it hauls balls in tenth.

Thanks. haha.

It should have been a salvage title, but the PO never reported her accident to the insurance company. The car still has a clean title.

Oh and sorry for all the quotes, multi quote seems to be broken.

LOL. You should slap a computer on there and see what kind of speed you're pulling! Fastest I've gone on a road bike is 40mph, going down hill of course. It's a little scary when the bike starts to wobble from the speed, and you can't hardly keep you eyes open from the wind.
I have a couple of friends that have gotten speeding tickets on their bikes going down big hills. More of an award than a ticket I think!

I did 42 once, on a mountain bike. Downhill, hunkered way down to cut wind resistance.

I decided afterwards that I didn't want to do that again.

BTW the car cost me $500... I had to do some serious work to it though. All in all I'm into it less than $2300(including purchase price). I'm happy.
