    Don't top off your tank if you do. Corollas get ruined that way all the time. Let the gas pump decide when your tank is full if you have a habit of squeezing a bit more in there.

    yeah some people even rock the car trying to get more in there haha.

    I don't top off, but I do empty the hose into the tank by lifting it up.

    Hummer- WTF
    Roach- Yeah don't do that lol
    Gold- How would that work because once the pump shuts off, the nozzle closes. So if you lift the hose to let gravity give you a bit more gas, all it does it sit at the end of the hose BEHIND the nozzle, not into your car. The only way you could get the last bit of gas from the hose into your car would be to pull the handle to open it, which would activite the pump, which would top it off. Fail.

    That looks very nice bro, great job. Love the suspsension. Actually I didn't realize you had new wheels, they look almost identical to the old ones. But now I can see the difference and it looks good.

    Oh, and what's that little part at the end about me having nice scenery???

    For your pictures you have nice scenery like grass and trees. That's hard to do here in Vegas. Best I could do was take a picture by a casino.

    They are houses. I was saying what I could do.
    I think I want some spacers for it to look more aggressive. What size you guys think would be good?

    yeah Press... I mean your thread is called "grandma rolla" but I can't believe that is the same car that you showed us with the vinyl roof and stuff lol.

    But any of us with a car worth looking at has to take a look at the before and after and go Wow..... it's always amazing to see before and after! Although in my case, it's the stuff in between that I'd rather forget lol.
