I broke two vertebrae in my neck almost two years ago. It left my me paralyzed from my lower chest down. My hands are a little screwed up too. The hand controls definitely become second nature after a while.

Hey good for you Custom 95! My dad broke 2 vertabre in his neck also, back in 2001 when a dirtbike malfunctioned on him. Its good to see you are still keeping up on the car hobby despite your hardships! In time, things do get easier. Stay strong!!

BTW the car looks SICK.

Thanks. I think that it doesn't get easier so much, you just get used to things being difficult.

Not too worried, a lot of other people have done the same thing and the decals have held up good. If any of them do peel, I'll just order some more. Thanks for the compliment.

Great job! I'm looking to replace my pads and rotors at the moment, might have to look into that deal.

If that's $150 for new pads, rotors, and labor, then yeah, I'd be a little concerned with the quality of the product and/or the quality of his work. Some places would charge that amount just for labor.
