Default I hurt my baby "a little bit" dont drive when your tires

Well i was driving in heavy traffic i told my self to ******* pay attention your gonna hit someone,but i was extremely tired and started to go into LaLa land looking at the sky and yea it happened..... luckily the corolla let off the breaks as i hit him so he bounced off unfortunately my header panel paid for it and it answered my age old question wtf is this made of well, its made of plastic and fiber glass.

lucky me the guy said no biggie and parted hopefully he didn't get my license plate cause i could get ******* owned.

SORRY FOR THE LARGE IMAGE PHOTO **** always does this to me

Judas Priest will keep you awake.

Also a plant sprayer with cold clean water, & spray your face every 30 minutes.

If that doesn't work, pull over & take a catnap for 20-30 minutes. Have someone call you on your cell if you can afford to oversleep the catnap.

FFOD (fun fact of the day)

Catnaps if taken for 20 or so minutes actually do make you feel better unless you sleep for too long in which you move into a stage of deep sleep. Unless you move into the deep stage of sleep, then you will awake energized and lively.


read that the other day, just wanted to share



Good way to fix that panel is take it off and get some super gorrilla glue (gorrila glue super glue) and glue that **** back together. When i got my jeep one of the headlight bezels fell into pieces in my hands when i was taking it off to put the clear corners and new turn signal bulbs in. Just happened to have bought some of that glue the same day and said what the hell, why not. My grill and headlight bezel is held together with it and it is showing no signs of breaking at all.....may even be stronger than it was before......

*Edit* and from the looks of it, its time you tried some Mothers back to black on those flares, caps, and trim pieces....works WONDERS. After 2 or 3 uses the stuff turns it back black and it'll stay that way for around 2 months or so...or at least thats how long it lasts on mine

hahaha, true that, if you fall asleep when you have to pee then you will rear end someone AND pee your pants, the other driver will probably drive off if they saw that....

That doesnt work that well, at least from what I found. Best way ive found so far is to take a butane torch to it. Heating it up with the butane burns away the top layer I believe and brings it back to a very strong black. Just did it the other day and I am extremely happy with the results Id recommended over all the other things ive tried.

it works, you just have to really lay it on thick. I've heard of people using a heat gun like that, but never a butane torch...great idea, as i actually have a butane torch to do that with lol
