My parents bought a used Roamer, which means that the Kashira now belongs to me. --- Post updated --- I decided to sell my kashira and with that and my savings I was able to buy my first project car... --- Post updated --- My new project car. I'm planning on her being my daily driver for a while so I need to make her a bit sportier.
Turns out my project was very desirable. Some guy offered me $50,000 for it after I restored it. I bought it for like $10,000, parts were like 5,000, so I made a profit of $35,000. Most of the money will be going to my parents, but I have my eye on another car that could turn out very nice. --- Post updated --- I picked up this wonderful 200bx for only $1,500. It drives great and can hopefully last me a very long time.
BREAKING NEWS! Tropical storm Bryce, the longest-lingering tropical storm in history, is no longer striking the Italian Penninsula. The situation is grim - Deserted auto wrecks, downed trees, knocked out communication, and damage to historic districts. When terrorists planted bombs in 5 buildings in Norte, it killed 4 and injured dozens more. The buildings have collapsed due to rainwater and wind exposure. The hospital was not able to operate at full capacity during the time, So an additional 3 died- two were victims of the bombings.
I turned 16! I can now legally have a license and drive on my own and I don't have to keep on car pooling, I invited all of my good friends over for a party and after my all friends left my house except Todd ( whom I've known since 1st grade), my dad invited me out back to the storage container which was fully open and he told me to cover my eyes. I was covering my eyes for about 10 seconds when I heard a door open and a engine stutter to life as if its sat for a long time. he then told me to open my eyes over the noise of my new car. a 1988 LeGran National Coupe, Sport V6 with some upgrades. He pulled it around front for me and I stood there while he ripped the parking brake and got out and said to me, " I've had this car since 1992 but have had to store it since 2002, but ever since today this is now your car. Happy 16th birthday." I hugged him and thanked him for the car and then hopped in with Todd and took the car around the neighborhood for a test drive, at one point I hit boost and the car lurched forward like a highspeed train. we came back and he left for home meanwhile my dad offered to drive me to the DMW tomorrow for a drivers test.
Look at this! Just bought this pristine Miramar GTz, taking it up to New York with me! --- Post updated --- Literally moments after I start driving, I literally get pulled over for 'speeding'. Luckily it was just a warning...
*Starting Over* I just turned 16 and got my driver's permit the other day. I currently live in Garfield Heights with my parents. I own a 1993 Ibishu Hopper that I have owned and wrenched on for quite a few years, although not being able to drive it on public roads until now. I'm still in public school and am currently enrolled in my school's BOCES program for automotive tech with a few of my friends. After school, I work part-time at my friend's father's repair shop/dealership. My Hopper: My School (BOCES shop doors): Where I work:
A wrecked Roamer was dropped in the front yard of this small house in ECUSA, the for-sale sign was taken down from the yard, and short after a lightly modified sunburst pulled in. It was packed with Joshua Duncan's necessities. Only a few hours later, rock music could be heard playing from the house.
I passed my driving test! I got out of the DMV with my dad and I drove all the way home to drop him off so I could go to the Shopping center that all of my friends meet at on the weekends. * Later * When I got there all of my friends freaked out that there was a LeGran National in the parking lot. One of the car geeks showed me that the gasket between the actual engine and the Turbo has dry rot on it and I should replace it if I want to make it reliable and make power. so I ran inside of the store and with the help of my other good friend Alex, we pulled of the turbo and replaced the gasket. while doing this we found that there was some aftermarket parts on the car from the 1990's. There was some other maintenance things I could've done but it was getting a bit late and I didn't have 200$ on me to do all of the necessary maintenance so we just left it with the turbo gasket and I went home.
God, do they ever give up?! *Aim 1911 pistol to the police helicopter *Shoots and kills passager and injerts driver Yea! *Helicopter crashes into units to create a traffic jam That will hold them... for now. *Turns onto a dirt road *Jumps out of legron as it keeps driving *Legron flips over and engine runs Well... I need to do some hiding. *Hides into bush
Got the finance job I've been interested in at Sprawl Mart. Which meant I had to move cross country over to Belasco, to work at Sprawl Mart HQ. They gave me a little money to put towards a house, and so I have a pretty nice one in Horizon Estates. I also purchased a Sunburst AWD Sport S, just off lease. I drove the LeGran, and the Coronet will be shipped shortly. I left the Hopper and the trailer with a friend for a while until I figure out what to do with them.
The airport is finally back open, and for a pretty penny, I'm flying back to Belasco Int'l next Tuesday. (All flights are booked until then.) I'm going to put the SBR up for sale, and when I get back, I'll be living in my GF's house in Horizon Estates with @SunburstFan as my roommate.
Huh, who's that??!?!?!? ***BASH*** WHAT THE HELL?!?!?! OH AND NOW HE'S RUNNING?!?!?!? Oh, god, let me call the police....
Got a new car (to drift) Its a Red ETK-I 3000i with a LSD First event! Today I learned drifting is hard. Got placeholder rear tyres so tyres don't cost as much. The dirt racers were having a play too.
Towed a 6 tonne water tank from Italy airport to Portino with a 3.55 final drive differential on my D15, then to Castelleto with the trailer still hitched on the back, surprisingly it was manageable and kept the revs below 3500rpm with the stock 4.5 V8 and my modified transmission (4speed with unlock/lock in 3rd https://beamng.com/resources/proper-tcc-behaviour-for-pickup-roamer.8497/ ) Tomorrow i'm taking it to the local repair shop to change the differentials to 4.10, should help quite a bit.. i wonder if i'll get into 4th gear and hold speed up.. 6 tonnes is a lot.. Definitely notice a difference with and without towing Torque converter got warm too.. hopefully with the 4.10 i can get it to lockup more.. most of the time with the 3.55 diff i was just riding 1-2 and rarely 3rd unlocked.. couldn't get anymore than that.. When i was towing my caravan with the 3.55 diff i gave it some throttle and the transmission clinged onto 3rd gear unlocked all the way to 70mph (approx 3000rpm) and engine under full load.. impressive performance without a rather loud drop to 2nd gear... trick to get the transmission to do this is to keep holding your foot down, slowly push it further down as the speed increases, otherwise it will lockup to sustain the power you are getting right now.. keep pushing it down and it'll hold full load and unlock the torque converter... but push too hard and it drops to 2nd gear to really get things going!
*Two hours later Police are still searching for me... *Burnside appeared Well... that lucky enough. *Gets into Burnside *Changes to a Crimson red wagon version Well... thank you *Drives out of the dirt trail --- Post updated --- (I admin, my character is trash... ish, if anyone wants to kill me... do it. I can start over... in a new character if someone kills me, I'm not going the start over, if someone dies, they start over in a new character, instead of saying "starting over." I prefer to die to start over, just to keep the realism) *Police officers pass by as I drive the wagon *3-5 Ambulances drives fast, passed me We need to get the heck out of... *See the Barstow flatbed away Wait... I thought he escaped...
