Hey mike, got another question for you. Is that LS1 hotcam you used during the rally really drivable or did it lope alot like a big cam? I was thinking about getting the ZO6 cam 02-04 and they have similar specs, but id like to keep good drivablity.

If you broke the rules of the road then they penalized you also.
Oh yes GOLDBERG you should call him up I took him outback and spit on his ***...
Thats right
I ran like hell.
When I first met goldberg we were doing a photo shoot and he was talking smack, being a little intimidated I said I would have to kick his ***. Which he replied I quit beating up skinny people....I thought for a few moments and it kinda ticked me off. So i said to him I wasnt one of the practiced pansies I would really hit back and I may not kick his *** but I would leave a mark. He told me (after spitting out a huge wad of chew) I like you man!
Crazy MF LOL

gotcha, i thought for sure there was black rims on there, i was just curious. Saw a preview for the new bullrun episode on tuesday night, it says you guys are going up againts the Lotus in a challenge. Hope you guys took the victory. Go team T/A baby.

I was impressed with his knowledge on the Fbods, and LS1,LS2 in particular. A real car guy, without a doubt. After talking to his possee( sales team and mechanics) from his pontiac dealer he has a lot of money tied in that red WS6 we see on the show, a few sets of heads, a few cams, suspension components you name it he's done it. We watched the show, and afterwards took us to his dealer(mind you its now closed) and showed us his "inventory/toyz".
Mike I was really taken by your generosity and the way you took in 2 people who you just met, and showed us a good time! I won't for get it and we hope we'll do it again next week, to see your challenge!! PS.. I think my cousin is taking that T/A next week!!!! That T/A is Just SICK!!!! thanks for a really good time AND THAT CAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wanna see the BMW boys bitch slap each other!!...
............. When I was watching the previews for the next upcoming episode I saw it from a distance and the volume was down.....The argument looked soo stupid but it was funny cuz I imagined one screaming at the other for cheating on him and charging up for a good ol fashion "BITCH SLAP!!"
