So my little brother loves to go skating, so we meet up with my grandparents at the local place (Skateland) that I've been too only once before, and that was when I was his age. Have fun or whatever, go to leave. Now, when I entered, it was on the right side of the lot (there's a building in front of Skateland) and so I leave on the right (that would be on the left of the building if you're facing it) I'm just having a dandy time, starting to see how heavy traffic is so that I'll know which direction to leave the lot in when "scrape" and "crunch" combine. I look behind me after I get off of the dropoff and see that it's more of an incredibly deep dip instead of a dropoff. Long story short, left side of the lip is gone, partial damage to the "rotor accent" section of the front end. (It's sort of hanging loose now.) I guess I'll give whoever owns the lot a call and let them know that, while I don't expect them to pay anything, I'd really like it if they would get the area of the lot fixed or post a sign or something. It's a huge headache and not something I want to fool with right now when there's college to worry about. I'll see if I can get pics up later.

Also, "Here there be drop off" - I think it's "drop-off."

So this one day i was really bored just sitting around watching movies and drinking some beer. I like to watch a lot of movies, and im always drinking beer. But i mainly drink beer when im pissed off at someone or something.. But anyway i sit there a few hours watch maybe 2 movies both sucked. then i put my shoes on, you know one at a time like always. walk outside and wouldnt you know it.. i went back in 2 seconds later watched more movies. and then i heard on the news a tree fell on a house of a woman who owned a car and had lived in canadia many years ago but before that was a man that lived on an island.

I was looking at it, only parts that I can see that are damaged are the lip and the rotary accent piece, so I'll probably just replace those. Out of curiosity, if shipping was paid, could the kit be gotten with a pretty nice deal?
