I could just see that being bad on moving day in a few weeks. One loud car pulls up, followed by another, followed by another, then the golf kart comes off the trailer just for icing on the cake. The new neighborhood would really love us LOL!

We went back to the Omni where a ton of people were already. They went out in small groups but I know they were in contact with Jason and a few others from there.

I mean if people want to race some of the big UGR Lambo's driving to Austin isn't that bad at all... I've done it a few times in the Porsche (no trailer involved a few times). It's not like these races have to wait a year...
True there are some talks of coming meets

It would not be cost worthy, to get it the way we would want it, the car would need at least $20k to fix the things we dont like with the setup. If I'm going to shell out $100k I would spend the extra $30 grand and get a lambo and send it to UGR and get a warrenty. I love his car but I would have never built it like he did.

Thanks man!

I am still very thankful Matt and I get along so well (at least now that we are older LOL!), but the biggest reason is because we will be 2 minutes from our mom. Since we lost dad being 20-30 minutes at times from her is a pain if she needs help. She's 55, so it's not like she's helpless but it's only been 6 months so there are points I know she would like to have someone there at points so we can help her with stuff.

I'm curious as to what you would change that would cost 20k?
