Default One hitter found.......

On Sunday Vinny was over doing a NX install along with installing some other items I got from Dean www.dynotunenitrous.com (a dynotune purge kit, nos pressure gauge and 860 Performance bottle heater / bracket) and during the install Vinny removed the rear seat to run some wiring and the NOS line and there's some junk under the seat and then he shows me a lil one hitter that looks like a half a cigarette Brought back some memories and a quick story about loosing a pipe in a rental car from "back in the day"

Thought I'd share as I thought it was funny

Vinny,
Thanks for the help on the install it looks great, I'll have to post some pics when I get a chance.

I did get a chance to verify that the motor in the car is the original block as the numbers are matching so I'm going to refrain from throwing a 200 shot on it at a rental in the fall as I don't have it in me to blow up a numbers matching 33 year old block, now if it meets its maker w/ a 100 shot then so be it

Uncle Marc

I'd call the previous owner... maybe there's a good story that goes along with it.

Was the previous owner the only other owner, or has it swapped hands a few times? if so, that might be the reason LOL.
