So I picked this up the day of the earthquake and was driving home when it hit. I was on a small bridge when the earthquake started and they usually move around a bit when trucks go over so I figured that was what I was feeling but this seemed a bit violent. I looked around to see if there were some young thugs having a go - rocking my ride.
The traffic moved forward and the rocking got worse and I finally twigged that it was an earthquake, people started pouring out onto the street, traffic didn't move despite the lights changing to green, I looked up at the buildings swaying expecting one - or part of one - to come crashing down on me but nothing fell. When it finally stopped, after what seemed like an eternity, I made my way over Rainbow bridge, not knowing whether it would still be there (I wonder how much it swayed in the quake - I was about 30 seconds away).
When I got over I saw the fire and headed over to take a couple of pics of that.
Anyway, sorry for the crappy pics and lack of proof pic, I'll sort that out when things have settled down a bit.
At first I was going to keep it completely stock, then I spent a couple of days searching used parts and now I'm back to where I think I'll keep it stock, at least for a while.

Rims - maybe gold BH Legacy, I like 'em and they're cheap
Replace/remove the tint
I was thinking of calling it the "long black limousine" (for those of you old enough to know who Grace Jones is) but me not being black kind of makes that even weirder, so I didn't. Suggestions welcome.
