Well, I had a huge story about my DSM career but somehow the page refreshed on me and I lost it all

:tat: :tat: :tat:

I bought my first DSM when I was 17, crashed it on my 18th bday:

Bought my 2nd DSM a month after I crashed the first one:

Went through 3 motors in the new one, all stupid errors on my part. Finally got a good motor in then put a 50 trim on it. Ran it like that for a month, realized I needed a reliable car at this point in my life and parted out the dizzum. It was a sad day, but it went to another Moderator here Iceman21 (Mike). At least I know it's got a good home now.

A few pics of the DSM over the past couple years:

With a 667whp 300zx:

One of my parts cars:

Race seat in the dizzum:

50 trim installed:

Then I got a new car. It's a 2001 Harley Davidson edition F-150. I absolutely love this truck! I got the non/sc one because I'm broke and it's what I could afford. I plan on buying a stock lightning supercharger and bolting it on for a little extra power. I miss my DSM, but I just am not financially able to keep it at this point in my life. Maybe someday I'll have another one.

Here's the truck:

I still show my DSMtalk love:

Well there you have it. Maybe I'll re-do my essay that I had written and repost it here, but till then this will have to do.

Comments, questions, concerns, etc. are all welcome.

Keepin it real with the DSM-Talk logo on the f-150. Now that's cool as hell. Looks good man. Love those wheels. I almost got those for my explorer. How's it on Gas?

Not very good at all, but I only drive ~50 miles a week to school and work.

I probably get 16-18 city and 21 highway. 12-14 if I really have a heavy foot.

25 MAYBE 30 miles an hour. It was on an ice covered parking lot. Slid straight into a pole, nothing I could do to stop it.

Yea it was definetly a shitty day. On my 18th birthday too.

Brakes locked up and I couldn't steer either way. Of course, I got sooo lucky and hit the only post in the 2 acre parking lot.

Nice truck, but what errors on your part made you go through 3 motors?

First one the block got cracked in the accident, second the thrust bearing was installed incorrectly by a friend of mine (I made the mistake of not double checking his work

), and then it was on it's third motor.

Your friend covered the cost of the 3rd motor right? Since he didn't do the work correctly?

Nope. He denied everything and claimed that he didn't help me at all

Oh well, you live and you learn. That rebuild had cost me a total of 300 dollars because all I replaced at the time were the gaskets and bearings. To be honest, I wish I had of just kept the motor with the crack in it. It ran PERFECTLY. I mean, it was smooth and quiet. Even with the crack in it.

I love the DSM-Talk logo on the f-150, thats awesome. Also love the color on the 1G.

BigBoostDSM

Discussion Starter · #16 · Nov 28, 2006

Thanks!

The color is just your basic maroon, I've seen countless other 1g's in the same color as mine. It was actually the only color that I didn't want at the time, but since it was such a great deal I couldn't pass it up. It ended up growing on my anyways

Wow, that first impact looks nasty. I can't beleive it folded up like that at 25-30.

I couldn't believe it either. I was young and stupid, it could have been prevented but you live and you learn. Oh well, it was a hunk of junk anyways

The dizzzum went to a good home, Scott, rest assured. It is going to be awhile before I post in this forum unless I decide to do a progress thread.

I am having a good time trying to find a motor for this puppy.
