he wasnt worth the fame. it was like racing against a canal boat. but i did do a full tune up of my car over the weekend ( 6 hours blah ) she runs a lot better now. I got a lot of plans for the winter while she's sitting in storage. next summer going from 360rwhp to at least 400 with a WELL NEEDED 9" and ls7 clutch (still debating the clutch) and some other goodies

I took the car cover off, backed it out of the garage for some out of town family to drool at, then I pulled it into the street and did a good 100+ foot burnout, then drove it around the block and pulled it back in my driveway. Most I've driven it all week!

I got some free rubbing compound from the local dealership and finally removed a good chunk of my paint swirls. It's not perfect, but it'll do until I can get a new hood after college.
