         About the wreck: I was heading north on I-75 heading to work. I was in the middle lane and switched to the fast lane. There was work being done to I-75 so the middle lane was about an inch or two lower than the outside lanes. I wasn't going fast and it was barely sprinkling. I hit a deep spot of standing water and started to fish tail. The rear end hit the middle guard rail and I slid backwards across the middle and right lanes into the far right guard rail. I came to a brief stop only to see a 02' four door tahoe starting to hydroplane right at me. This was all during 8:00am traffic in Henry County (just below atlanta) She hit my drivers side front tire making me spin around facing the opposite direction and about 60 yards further down the road. Noone was ticketed and noone was hurt thank God. The police report was completely wrong... it said I swiped the tahoe as I was sliding.. but this isn't the case... my car would not have been totaled if she did not hydroplane and hit me after I had came to a complete stop on the guard rail... The police had no skid marks so they were blind to what had happened. I did not want to take it to court either... the woman in the tahoe just happen to "forget" what had happened... so you know how that goes....

   01/11/03 - Install day for the headers, y-pipe, and gutted cats are on. Thanks to Greg, Chris, and Paul for help doing the installs! Install took forever but worth it!
evlls1_photos of the install

   03/01/03 - Install day for the BMR springs! Greg and I put the lowering springs on the front and removed the rubber piece on the top of the rear springs to lower the front and back over an inch each (level and low - very nice look). Install took an estimated 3 hours.

   04/27/03 - I did some more painting in the engine bay. Pictures to come later. Also added aluminum battery tie down that I made a couple weeks ago. Looks great. TV's to come...
