Default Speed Inc. Open House

Wow that was the first open house I went to. Speed REALLY knows how to put on a open house!!! Thanks!!! Alot of great cars and a TON of people. I didn't know GM produced that many fbodys. lol . The cars in the shop were very cool.

It had to cost a ton of $$$$$$$$$$$ for all the food and drinks.

It was a great time. Who else had a good time??????

Yeah I saw your car pull in right at the end Tony, that thing looks and sounds very badass, too bad you missed the actual fun though. Oh well, always next year...

That was a good time, I saw a ton of folks I have not seen in 4-5 even 6 years. How many pizzas you guys go through?

There was some older guy in some ghey white Camaro with stickers that kept coming around and launching off the transbrake.

It was weird, there were more C6Z's then there were C5's, you don't see that too often.

This was my first Speed open house, I had a good time. Even though the cops busted it up a little it was still a good day. The 40+ car caravan we had was cool. One line of good ol American Muscle riding together. I tried to fit one of those Twin turboed cars in my pocket but, no luck. Now that was one bad *** garage. How about the SUPER clean Sunset orange camaro? one CLEAN ****. Who almost kissed my hanging ***** coming down that off ramp? I saw it coming for some reason and pulled to the side of Heymoej. Glad I did cuz it was close. Anyways, thanks for the invite, thanks for the food/drinks and a great day hangin with fellow gear heads. 2 Thumbs up for the crew at Speed.
