SIGN MY GUEST BOOK AND RATE ME UP WAY UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And maybe nominate me for showoof of the week! why waist your vote when you could just click the button at the top of the screen for me!

UPDATE: i regret to say on september 4th of 2007 i rolled my Nova at about 115MPH when my stearing went out. honestly now i could care less about the car, im just lucky to be alive! i mean i have spent 3 years of my life working on my nova every day and now its gone.... but after being in the hospital for a month im just happy to be alive! if i could take it all back and maybe have my nova stolen i would, because of me being a stupid 17 year old with 400hp my parents had to stay with me in the hospital knowing that i might die at any minute, it might have been because i broke my neck? breaking my back maybe? or maybe how i crushed half my skull which is now replaced with metal plates... all i know is that ive learned my lesson and now stick to the speed limits (mostly) sometimes that car guy still comes out in me and i just wanna floor it!

Injuries: Broken neck, fractured skull, broke 3 vertibre in my back (almost paralized), i still cant move my right arm fully due to nerve damage (and probly never will be able to), 4 broken ribs, snapped both my shoulder blades, perminate brain damage, and my vision in my left eye is compleatly blurry all the time...

i hope all of you can learn from this! i spent a month in the hospital, lost my car i spent 3 years building, and i know going fast is always fun,but beleive me its not worth it!
