    I've been in Colorado my whole life and I've never had a serious accident -- no injuries, no rollovers, no insurance claims. I think a lot of that has to do with the experience gained from skidding around parking lots and fishtailing down roads.

    If you see that cop again, you've got to buy him a donut or something. That's really cool that he was actually looking out for you guys instead of just being a dick. That said, it sounds like you guys did the right thing, too. The cones helped.
    thats my theory, and ive always driven in colorado...the more practice you have without control, the better your reactions are gonna be when it happens by accident....

    plus its REALLY fun to have the guy with the STI ask me if i think he is keeping up with me

    I've always wondered if the PB in your name stood for paintball. Judging from the huge Dye sticker on the back window of your old VX I guess that confirms that. Where did you get a sticker that big anyway?

    haha, ya the pb is for paintball, because at the time i had my VX i was really involved in the paintball community.

    I was a backup for naughty dogs (national championship team), and they were sponsored by DYE, so i asked our rep to please get me the biggest vinyl car sticker he could get a hold of. He showed up at the next meet with a 3'x8" sticker.

    I loved that sticker because you could never find them anywhere else.

    do you ball?

    Haha, that's pretty awesome, no wonder I've never seen a sticker that big.

    Yeah I have been playing national events for the last two years (both PSP and NPPL) in D4, D2 and some pump stuff this year. I was just in Vegas for the last NPPL round this year about 2 weeks ago.

    I was doing all that in 4hi, the transmission is too rough in 4lo to be getting on it that hard.

    thats great, i played NPPL for 2 years in a row, both in denver.
    I really miss my paintball days, and i would kill to be able to ball like i used to, but i just cant afford to play.
    At the time that i had my VX i managed a field in colorado springs, which meant that i played and practiced for free. Then after i left that job i was playing with naughty dogs and they had all their paint and gear paid for.

    Yup, 3" OME lift. Factory shocks with no ball joint flip, just new springs in the rear and a torsion bar twist or two
