For those that do not know Dave and I LOVE to bust each other's chop's. But it's done with a good heart . And we have a heck of a lot of fun doing it too.
No one could be happier that David's car is nearing completion.

OK no more turtle jokes for you !

Kevin,

Good eye! I asked if Marc H would paint that and he did. He is so particular and it shows. Unbelievable job!

Call it "Ricky paint"? :-D

David

Corsas?

I know what folks(Marc) says. I experienced this: I've only hit the rev limiter twice--on back to back 1/4 mile passes when I replaced the corsas with a B&B w/ X-pipe.

Interested to see power levels on your beast. At least you can hear yourself think.

He's been spotted at a Quik Stop getting fuel. Security cameras picked him up a "a curious fellow with an Obama smile."
