Grib that thing is just a pretty little hot rod..... exceptionally well
constructed and what appeared to be well maintained.... sure glad you have

Just remember you CAN'T run those nascar tires on the salt.... ( oh and
spank the car with a ton of nitrous...LOL ) See what happens when ya
don't listen to convention.... we all learn something....
K ( yes I am being sarcastic.... Grib's rain tires were awesome on the salt
)
