I can't put those other parts in the car---there's too much at risk now.
Im thinking that if you installed any of those fancy begged and borrowed parts in your garage then you would have no excuses. At least this way you can always talk about what your car will be next year after you install that subframe that so far is just way to get Kyle Tucker to come to your party. Dont worry if you install those parts in black beauty and your still only top 10, then you can just tell people how fast your drag car would be had they not shut down the drag strips in LA.

I can wax the Paint... Pull the tooth....Problem/excuses solved..

LMAO...If I am not having a Stroke or a Seizure at that exact moment, I can't use those as excuses either.

No more paralysis..Another advantage..

Dang, you guys are a tough crowd..

If they have to crack open my chest, or my skull, I am going to have to ask for a few second head start...

Broken engine is a valid excuse. Just don't expect Flash to agree, he could have a chunk of the block hit him in the kneecap and would say it's "just some blowby".

The only place that arm is going to fail is were I have not touched it yet. My work is solid..... Besides I'd be more worried about your driving skills as an excuse

Aint that the truth? That boy likes his cars like he likes his women, loud, harsh, and smoking! Should have gotten himself a vegas hooker! Help a brother out Todd?

And speaking of Todd, he should have been a plastic surgeon with how much he "tunes" his car. "a little more here, a little less there, raise this up, make those bigger..."

Doug hasn't put those parts on his car so everyone will keep talking about him; because once they go on he'll be old news, and Mr. Popular can't have that!

Matt's a good jokester cause mind is quick an direct, too bad I can't say the same for his driving.

Roger's so big I don't dare cross him; and Greg's so short I'd feel bad for making fun of him.

Steven Steven Steven, I don't know where to start with you...

Tommy boy, could the hair get any bigger?

Yeah, I didn't make the list. Is this a good thing, I don't know.

The Renner observation.... So, true. lol.

Watch what you say about Biggie and shorty, I heard they are part of the motomofia. They might send a hit man out.

And any time someone mentions hookers and/or plastic surgeon, I get giddy like a school girl... So, I'm on their team so they can deliver. You know the girls. You gatta have pit h... helpers at these events.... Someone to hold my umbrella.

Well I picked up my Camaro from the shop today.

The quality of the work was so poor and there are so many problems with it that I've decided not to bring a knife to a knife fight.... I'm bringing a gun!!

Some searching on craiglist and I found this badass machine. I'm waiting to hear back on my offer. If the deal goes though you guys are definitely gonna need a bigger white board!

I give you the... BUTTONWILLOW DOMINATOR!!



This thing is even fully track ready as evidenced in this picture!



Fear me
