Edenvale word for the day - "dorped"

A term to use when you have lowered your car's suspension.

Just yanking your chain. :D She looks good "dorped"!

Put a little rubber plug in the old antenna hole, with all the rain we have been having, your heater channel will be rusted through in no time with all the water running in there!

Hubcaps looking good, new or elbow grease?

ps. How can you wear black in this heat! :shock:

So the correct term is lowered and not droped which I spelt incorrect (dropped)
the hucaps lots of elbow grease
the black clothes I'm originally from Durban so the heat is not bad

Yes I am still going to paint it but the more I look at this color the more I like it so what I'm going to do is strip off all the old paint and go back to the original paint and do it the correct way and not like the previous oner did
