Default Moveing on

Well guys I hate to say it but, I will be moving on. I'm at the end of the line
with the LS4.
There have been too many road blocks getting after market performance parts
for this wonderful car.
So, I have traded it in for the Dodge Challenger R/T,
Here I am picking it up yesterday.


Well, it's been fun guys. I will pop in from time to time. Be Safe.

Am i the only one that would give up my car for that Challenger, and I really like my car. However, i think that $40,000 is a lot of money for it.
