I was going to ask you the same thing, only put it on about 20 mins ago. Saw just a little of it earlier and they were getting their *** kicked, I am glad they pulled it out!

I saw some of it in college and thought it looked like a lot of fun! Small & fierce...I was 5' 10" and 165 pounds. Never been afraid of getting hurt either, although I've never broken a bone in my life. Guess I have some tough bones, because I've taken a lot of hard knocks.

Good luck! I'm with ya...all the way, even the WRX. No hooker shorts here. Fast and fun to drive. That WRX is far from a "Tokyo Drift" type of car.

Brendan, you still here? Was going to ask you if you'd ever been to any clubs in Acapulco. Palladium comes to mind first. Went there on one of my spring breaks. That place was awesome. Huge 20' glass windows around the dance floor overlooking the bay and the sound system there was unreal.

I know. I did that to what I thought was one of those ricer coupes (like an Altima or something) and it ended up being one of those friggin' GTOs with 400+ HP. He ate my lunch....

yeah but how do they do with a 20,000 lb trailer behind them??? some of them move pretty good, but are worthless in any kind of weather. My brother has an 89 Iroc Camaro with the 5.7 L and the optional 3.27 gears... factory " standard" was 2.73's... It moves good, but put that sucker on ice and you are going nowhere....
