Was this a white guy?

Also, the !cat mod and a Tubi exhaust will really open up the lope sound on those, I'd be VERY surprised if it had modded internals.

I'd also be very surprised if it was fast from a dig, but then again, I've been surprised before...

Nope. It was a black guy. I remember a long time ago there was a rumor going around that he plays in the NBA or something, and he just has a few cars down here to drive when he visits his family or something. I don't think he is anyone famous or anything, but you don't have to be to make money playing pro ball. I don't believe it, but who knows. It is just a rumor and you know how that goes.

Didn't get the tag, If I see him again, I'll try to snag it.

I'm aching for some competition around here, Jhelms, we may need to arrange some kind of get together so I can have a real stick to measure my car with.

We didn't really meet up this past weekend, although there were a few people out there. I plan on being there next weekend though.

Today there was a yellow Ferrari F355 convertible parked at the airport hotel next to the old Carmike 7 / Al Who's / Firehouse.

Same guy maybe?

Yep, that sounds like him. Unless there is another yellow Ferrari F355 around, I'm pretty sure it's the same guy. Haha, I'm actually surprised that I correctly guessed what model the Ferrari was.

I might come out. It depends on who all I know is going to be out there. Are you going to be able to make it BigBuick?

Too wet for me tonight.

I'm planning on coming out saturday night 6-13, I should be off work early enough to be at Papa Johns around 9pm.

Jhelms, all I got is the v6 version of the buick, I couldn't afford the v8

If we can race from a dig, I'll spill the beans on what I got, but not until we get a good honest run in.

Also, Firehawk238, when are you bringing that truck down so we can slap on that turbo? Always wanted to see it put to good use!
