We can accomidate you


I couldnt agree anymore with the scene being a flop!!

As one guy put it "Its the LS1s that killed it, its just like in the early 80s when the stang came out." "You arent doing **** to these cars and there in the 11s!"


We havent even brought anything out because its not even worth it. For the first time ever I think I havent been out more then 5 times this year.
