Hey, who's the gooberhead standing next to your car in the third pic? He looks all proud like that's HIS car or something. I bet you kicked his scrawny *** for jumpin' in your otherwise cool pic, huh?

Seriously, that's SWEET to say the least!

Hehe, my wife thinks I am looking scrawny lately, she says I've lost too much weight! (I'm down to 154lbs) But I don't want to be a "fat guy in a Corvette"

"it helps the performance of the car down the 1/4 mile."
