You have $600+ to drop on a guitar but you can't afford 1-2 tanks of gas?

actually i've got the smokies pretty mapped out, its pretty much like everytime you come into a new county take it easy bc there will be a cop sitting where you cant see him within a mile, then going through "cities" there's gonna be two more lurking around. i'm a human radar detector

Unless you have electronic protection you will be gettin busted..and that is not a guarantee ..cops love "human radar detectors" they make their living off of them..can you say revenue generation..

Last shootout generated some revenue for the county..just ask pencil neck about it..and last spring in route to the shoot out a guy got a ticket in Reynolds, Ga. within in sight of the drag strip..a heard of F bodys will definately attract some unwanted attention from the law..


As a matter of fact every shoot out I have attended for the last 3 years someone has gotten hassled by the law .."REVENUE GENERATION" is the name of the game.. ..when ya get on the two lanes 10 over sounds like a good idea..9 over sounds even better...

at tech inspection , the guy literally puts a number on my car and tells me"good luck" they seriously don't do anything like commerce does, and i think we are meeting off 85 somewhere,or at the warehouse, i live in lilburn, and the warehouse is in lawrenceville, so either way you can follow us to wherever we meet

That's very nice of you. Hopefully no one will break anything. If my car breaks and you have to tow me back, I'll buy you lunch and pay for your gas.
