anything going on this month?

been working on getting the car up and running on the megasquirt, I got it running and driving and did some street tuning. The car pulls nice under WOT and sounds incredible. I made an appt to get the car tuned on the dyno later this week.

Ive been to a couple shows recently, I pulled a people choice award at one and a presidents choice at the other( only trophy given out and 1200 cars attended)

congrats that's awesome. i bet she is a show stopper in person.

will be cool to see what the dyno says!

the amount of attention the car draws is crazy, sometimes its overwhelming. Everytime you stop somewhere people take pictures, ask questions, tell stories ext ext. Ive been followed into the gas station numerous times,been filmed by a state trooper with his cell phone on the highway, given tons of nods and thumbs up. I even had a guy follow me into the bank, not the parking lot, in the lobby! Its pretty wild.
