Im gonna say, Rice was the death of BP? I had heard rumors about that when i returned from Iraq, but i was so busy then i fuggin re-deployed to afgan, i never could check if it was true. Too bad too, causa whe i lived in hampton, it was litterally a 5 min drive, and i didnt even have to get on mercury blvd to get thier, just took the back roads from my house. I do like jenro's though, man i used to have quite a crew back in 07 that rolled with me, kyle, 9 second green TA, Kong with his sick black TA, My buddies mustang gt, a few Mach 1s always rolled, we had like 2 Z06 guys, and then whoever else wanted to cruise from jenro's back towards my house at BP, always made for a bitchin cruise. Anyway, when i come home, i wanna get together, maybe slap my new bigs and littles on and hit the tack, i need new times anyway, never got to go after cam install!! Stay in touch fellas, Hampton roads is gettin hot again!!!
