Nothing fishy here. They are new into the car world and I recommended they join LS1Tech to learn more about these cars and also meet some people. They have been hanging out with SCM for a while.


Glad to see you guys on here I can't wait for the Irvine meet, are you still planning on making it?

He actually just did. We visited Brenden's gravestone and took a drive down the coast. It was a beautiful cruise
