SHOW TOURING FTW!

I know it's tough waiting Bro, but you'll get your turn to drive.

SO the car has 40 miles on it and you want me to go straight to the track?

The car was the belle of the ball at Super Car Sunday today, just my opinon and I might be biased. Dustin (SC Sunday organizer) wants to shoot it for Driven World magazine and I met a couple of members that recognized the car. Not bad for two hours. It's all about the people, right G-Dub?

Despite me giving you grief -- the car looks and sounds awesome... even if a Chihuahua is louder.
~ 93 db at idle. That was a loud, yappy freakin dog!

Dick and company did a buff and polish and the paint is pretty smooth. Not perfect, but good enough to ruin at the track

Car does sound awesome though.

Man Sieg you don't miss a beat. Trans is a little notchy and the clutch engages about an 1/8" off the floor. Makes for some tough shifts. Not good, and I'll have to deal with it next weekend.

I wiped it down as soon as I got home

We all couldn't be any happier for you Ron.

Car looks great! We know BOS is top notch...

Lord knows you've researched every part ever made for every car ever made... Remind me what the metallurgy was on that drum brake for the 1902 Renault that we saw.... LOL

We ALL would have sat down - put it in gear - and come home when we ran out of gas money. So good for you.

Apparently DG missed the part where we somehow established that you work very hard Ron.

I look forward to imitating your 'Body-at-rest but mind is a steel trap noTouring' style someday.

Awesome post Greg. You know I love the banter, and we all know you always keep it real.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.
