Default Thanks ICON!

I would just like to say thanks to ICON for all of the work put into my car the last few weeks. They (Mike and Paul) basically took a bunch of parts, a chasis, and a knocking motor and made it run trouble free. They even sent my stage 1 heads to LME for a little updating. Then finally to top it all off, they put on a y-pipe and catback that looks like a factory install! Can't get any better than that. They've got to be some of the most professional guys I've ever dealth with. Even his neighbors are a good group of folks, as they helped me load my car onto a narrow trailer @ 10pm last night! Nice group of guys floating all around ICON.

Thanks Q! It was great working with you and I'm glad you are happy that your car is back in the condition that it is supposed to be in. Let's take that thing to the track! You are right about our neighbors. Pretty much all of them are into racing or are associated with speed one way or another so they are always pretty interested in the vehicles that come in and out of here.

I was 19 when I had the Z28 and we were doing the whole beltway bombing thing along with the other street related outings until 4am or better each night. I still have a good ways to go until I hit the 40 mark...

Hey Eric, it has been a long time since I've seen anyone. I've seen Steve a couple of time since he got back from Iraq. I'll have to shoot him an email or call him and tell him to grill up some meat.
