    History of Car: Skeeter is my first car, my dad and I split the payment/work on it when I was 15 and I started driving it when I was 16 (needed work to get on the road). Since then I’ve been slowly modding my lil car for the last 3 years!

    -KYB GR2’s in the front (stock springs)
    -Energy Susp sway bar bushings
