hollipoo's silver 02' neon

hollipoo · Post by **hollipoo** » Mon Oct 12, 2009 12:01 am

first time I saw her. love at first sight.

where's the neon?

Christmas eve 2008 got backed into, and I wasn't even moving.

august 2009. backed into again. is my car invisible?

October 2009. she's fixed

my back bumper is loaded...lol. I had a "team edward" sticker in my back window above the hello kitty in the bottom corner, and someone stole it. wtf?

I love my car.

she came with a cassette player. I got an Alpine cd player with a direct plug in to my ipod.

I'll take some cool angle pics and stuff later. And if anyone wants to see what powers her? Nothing awesome...but she can kick butt

Nice little write up

Nice story you told.

It sucks that she was backed into so often.

Are you planning to lower or get rims?

I bet Anthony is gonna be drooling over the hello kitty tag though!

Looks good. Do you have anything planned for it or are you going to keep it mostly stock?

All you sticker haters....

...each sticker is good for at least 10 horsepower depending on positioning...

...THAT is why it kicks butt!

haha... wow. well the nice thing about the bumper stickers is, I've had a lot of compliments! The other day I was on my lunch at work, all sprawled out in my back seat and this guy saw the one magnet that reads "I'd tell you to go to hell, but I work there and don't want to see you every day" He came over to me, peered into my window and told me that it so made his day. Really? Seriously? Dude. I work here. But whatever. I said that he was welcome.

I'd really like my interior done hot pink as well, and keep my hello kitty. And give her a pink paint job. If I did this, I'd keep the magnets but I wouldn't put any stickers on the bumper. Not gonna pay that much for my paint and then stick stickers all over it...goo gone just does so much. I'm not quite sure what I'd like to do as far as modding her goes though. Simply because, I don't know that much! I love my car, and can tell if something is wrong with it. I know how she handles, and every dent scratch and nick in here...and when I find new ones I freak out. I don't really want to lower it, it is low enough for me to be honest. Last winter I was in the parking lot at work and a chunk of ice pushed my radiator up into my transmission causing it to leak. There went 200 bucks.
I don't even know who I'd go to, to do it. Who I could really trust. The guy that repaired the door and back, well he did a nice job. But I noticed a lot of blue crap on my car and I don't know if it will come off or if its going to stay there. I haven't tried to wash it yet. He is a friend of a friend of my dads. And when I got her back, she also wreaked heavily of tobacco and I'm still trying to get the stentch out!

Wow sounds like a hack ass body shop...no one should EVER smoke in your car when it's at a shop....EVER. Color changes cost a small fortune....at least 4-5k to be done right.

Or $50...

Unless you want a 'Custom' color which came out to $86 for me.

LOL well rustoleum is always an option

Tam · Post by **Tam** » Mon Oct 12, 2009 1:45 pm

You can always get some rollers and some Rustoleum paint from Home Depot and paint your car for $50 like I did, then you wouldn't have to worry so much. All you need is space, warm weather, patience.
Some pics of the results:

It's not going to be show quality, but it's pretty darn good for the price.
I can teach you more about it if you want.

I honestly wouldn't lower it after seeing that kind of weather...

Looks like reliable daily transportation to me. Sucks about all the people backing into you. They confessed to it? Or they just leave since no one was around?

I'm seriously starting to consider the Rustoleum paint job. My paint has all kinds of rock chips and scratches in it. Yours looks pretty damn good too!

they probably where distracted by all the stickers

lol both times I got backed into, I was in my car. So they didn't get away with murder

The ones who hit me on xmas eve, they gave me their information and when the insurance company got back to me, they said they weren't even covered. So after tracking the people down they claimed they never had a car on the road. Got sucked up by that one...but after the girl hit me this past august I got enough money for both.

I'm going to mod her when I get the money to. I'm not going to even attempt to paint my own car...lol. I would end up botching it, and looking like crap. I know I would! The price to do it myself isn't bad, but I know I'd kill it. My friend's mother is good friends with this guy who has a body shop, and I may go to him for it.
