Default NXRicky and Nitro Dave

This past Wednesday and Thursday I was in Texas and had the opportunity to drop by and finally meet Ricky @ NX and Nitro Dave. Wednesday I stopped by Nitrous Express on my marathon trip from Springfield, CO to Dallas, TX and Ricky took some time out of his busy schedule to hang out and show me around. Can't go into too much detail on what I saw because I've been sworn to secrecy and would be shot on the spot if I divulged any trade secrets! Just kidding! But the 85mm LS1 intake does exist, I saw one! It's not a myth! He couldn't go into detail on much, but he assured me there is some cool new stuff coming down the pipe, so be on the lookout.

Thursday, on my way to Houston, I was able to stop by and meet Nitro Dave. He was cool enough to hang out and talk to me in between calls from customers. We talked about how he got in the business and how things are going and what is in store for the future. He even offered lunch but I had to get on the road (damn job!).

Both of them are stand up guys that really do care about their customers and will do whatever it takes to make you happy. It was really cool to finally meet these guys and put faces to the names. As if there was any question before, they made a life-long customer out of me.

Thanks for everything you guys do for the community, you guys rock!
