Ok so I went over there today and from my driveway to there shop it was 67 miles and took me 35 minutes. Hope that helps. I met Laron Landry who plays with the Washington Redskins while I was there. He dropped of a c6 vette to have some work done to it. He asked me if I wanted to race and I agreed until he said $3000 was on the line so you know I had to back off of that one cause I just don't have that kind of pocket change

Coming from Slidell you would take Exit 15 (Walker/Port Vincent). Head right on the offramp. You will then pass up to two red lights until you see an Auto Zone on your left. Take a left at that auto zone and we are directly behind.
