Default Spotted! Mad Max in Elk Grove!

So I was outside my work smoking a ciggy, and I see this odd looking car... Still half asleep it took me a minute to realize it was a MadMax commidor replica... Right hand drive, Blown, the whole 9. This car looked Effin SICK! Sounded Sick... Not too long after that I spot a nice old school challenger, and then an old Falcon... What the HELL is going on out in the Woodale, Bensinville, Elk Grove area today?

I dont know about you, but I want that mad max car....

says the guy is out of naperville. he shipped it over from australia. the guy he bought it from is reproducing the movie car over there and has a lot of the original moldings for like the spoilers, so this guy has actually ordered spoilers from those molds so they are original. supposedly the car is 100% movie accurate.

Maybe thier bikini bike wash, dunno... But Still, I want that car.

BTW Vince, I might need to come pick up another trans kit from you shortly. Can you email me a quote for the Shift Kit, and all the Pistons/check ***** that you got for me last time. Got someone that wants to do the B&M shift kit that I need to talk out of it.
