No small feat if that is the case. Very clean turbo install as well.

Hope you can get past the more unfortunate events of the past two years and get things back on track in your life. All the best with that.

thanks man. as of now, all my legal issues are taken care of. im banned from the state of IN, but, i didnt have to do any more time or get any of the felonies on my record. i also had a warrant here in ATL for about 3 or 4 months, which also got taken care of, as the case was dropped due to lack of evidence and it having been sitting for 3 years with nothing going on. the ATL case was a bunch of bull**** and i shouldnt have ever needed to be in court for it. the stuff in indiana, it was pretty serious, but i did some informant work for the police and that got me out of nearly all the trouble, as well as a few other things here and there...

always have a good lawyer on call. saved my *** like no other. also, never lie to cops, its not worth the trouble, amd m lucky i was honest and only told the truth in my case.

Retroshark, do you have header heat wrap on your manifold? Would you recommend using that, from your experience?

i had it for a while, but personally, i dont really think its necessary.

and as far as what i did,

i have no problems talking about it, since its a closed chapter in my life.

i was dealing a lot of drugs for a while, mainly a lot of pot, and a few things here and there. i got into a big habbit of prescription xanax, and was taking about a months worth of pills each day, for about a year. to feed the habbit, i started selling more drugs, and harder ones. eventually, in the 6 months leading to my arrest in april, i started using cocaine on a daily basis, and was spending around 200-300 dollars a day on my own personal drug use. i was dealing a lot of cocaine, a lot of prescription drugs, a lot of weed, shrooms, mdma products... it got very very out of hand, and i was messing around with a lot of people who you would never want to meet in real life. i was around people who carried weapons, who were mostly drug users for most their lives, and also mainly ex cons and felons, or had open warrants.

eventually, on april 16th, i was raided at 5am and taken to hospital, then jail.

the rest of the details from there on are sort of more private, and pertain to my legal situation, but, i will tell you, that it took a full 2 months to completely withdraw from the massive ammount of xanax i was using, and upon release from jail on bond, i was completely psychotic, and had to go directly to a detox facility, where i was sedated and put on heavy antipsychotic drugs to stop the hallucinating and wild behavior.

it was a horrendous ordeal, but i am now sober for more than 10 months, and ive gotten all my **** back together, and am getting on with my life in a positive way.

i hope that clears things up for you.

That is very intense, and it sounds like you not only went through a whole lot, but learned some valuable lessons. Congrats on overcoming your situation and continuing with life! :D
