Word on the street, Grip, Brian was afraid he couldn't beat you. So maybe that's why he did.
I guess 'll be racing his G8 now

took the truck for a shakedown run......I am really impressed with the BFG KDW tires, no flat spots after sitting in the same spot for 6 months, brakes work like they are supposed too, motor still makes 10lbs of boost.......I need to shift this thing at 6200rpm+, been shifting it at 5600rpm, probably wait until I get more than 100miles on it, most importantly, no leaks

Dude, when the F*ck did motor oil skyrocket? When did a quart of regular Royal Purple start costing 8.99? This motor is getting one more cycle of Dino oil before the good stuff goes in

Good news is, oil is still cheap on base, bad news is, they don't carry Redline
