Trav, I know it was mentioned before, but did you actually sell your Evo? If you did, what are you driving now?

Ok, I'm done with the bench racing, lets get back to the sweet, sweet tags

oh i was just talking out my *** with the drag coefficient, i just wanted a reason to bust your ***** a bit about racing uphill.

You must be too poor to mod the Z! You should go back to school and learn about finances. Student loans are good for modding purposes.

If you need a loan to mod the Z or protege, my mom is giving them out at .9% APR.

.9% for an unsecured loan is stellar.
