It is an amazing car. One that most of us can only dream about. Beetlecup is right.... "one day"! Looking forward to hearing and seeing more of your car. Can't get enough of that one.

As far as seeing the car, are you gonna make it down to O.C. for H20. I would love to check out your car in person. And speaking of in person it would be nice to meet you as well. Hope you can make it down.

i was beginning to think that thing never gets driven, but you made it to hartford i see

and yeah, there needs to be another trumbull/bridgeport area G2G. there was one at dunkin on white plains many years ago, it was a good spot, right off 8/25/15, big lot and nobody bothered us. the burger king G2G on main street sucked and that's done with. i would love to get the white plains dunkin G2G up and running again.

No........I drive it. We even took a picture LOL

Good call on the Hartford shoot location!

Yeah, it'd be really cool if we could get a GTG started up in the area. I think Marissa's parking lot would be tough, it's always a mob scene and really crowded.

Maybe Starbucks on White Plains Rd. in Trumbull would be cool? It's across the street from Dunkin.

Still tryin' to figure out a way to make H20!

the lot behind starbucks might work, i assume most of the stores back there close somewhat early.

Nope, no rubs or scrapes at all!

It took a lot of trial and error between the perfect stance/lowering with the suspension, wheel off-set and tire "profile", but I finally nailed it. I believe I probably could have even gone with a 265 in the rear and been alright.

P.S. You'll also notice I finally found those RSI knobs!
