Another Legend owner migrating over ;) 56k no way

[Alperovich]

sup guys, (and gals and )

my name is alex, and i'm a acuhalic.

I'm from chicago, friends with ymisoqt. thought i'd share a little bit about myself and my love for Legends

started around oct 2005 when i bought my first legend, 93 black on tan 6mt coupe. instantly fell in love. Now i own my 4th running Legend, and have had 3 parts cars. one of which (and the first legend i ever got) ended up being a dedicated race car. i partook in over 20 autoX events in it over 2 seasons. (i no longer have this car RIP-7.7.2008)

I'm a "backyard" mechanic, i actually went to skool to be a mechanic, right now i work at a small parts warehouse, we do some mechanical work and are trying to start a detailing business.

I'm also a photography whore.....


here's my current pride and joy, i got her 11/08 with a bhg from the original owner for $500. in pretty rough shape. her name is Annie.

yea lol boats. hahah. it is a boat, check out this autoX run. this is VERY last run i've ever done in my old legend, this is from our national meet in 2008, i wrecked the car 2 days later on the way home.

b4 u ask, yes, it was painted matte black, yes, i am rocking pink wheels, no, they are not mine, another members track wheels, they are nsx wheels, powercoated hot pink with some Falken Azenis RT-615 Tires) need less to say, i did put down the fastest time of the day in this run. (but already had the fastest time, with my rims/tires anyways)

Welcome, I love your legend. I've tried so hard to find a clean coupe, but every decent one I ever found had at least 180-200k on it...

[Alperovich]

^ thanx man!

200k is nothing for these cars. they got so many miles b.c ppl LOVE to drive them. there's many clean examples over 200k. granted many started out from the non-rust states LOL

Awesome! I love legends, and nice job on the retro fit! Your last one sounded sick btw
