It's official. Laporte needs a car club for younger guys. I'm missing out over here. lol
What was the kid behind you driving? Right now I'm picturing a slightly dented rear bumper and a shattered SRT-4 front fascia.

dude i wish i destroyed a srt4 it was my friends grand prix tho. 1990 i think. i stil need to get some pics but we both need new bumpers he needs a new hood and i need quarter panel work

ok so a new update i decided to cut and tuck my front bumper. just had a sudden burst of energy and attacked it. ive been working on it since about 12 and its 5am now. i got the bumper shocks modified and welded and then half the bumper started. needs another 3 or 4 hours but its coming along good. ive only welded a few times so its kinda shitty but ill go over it again
