Hey Brendon, looks like a decent day indeed.

As far as the truck, my buddy has an 08 F550, I believe, dump, and he get's around 7-9...regardless of what he has behind it. He personally hates it, but I have heard the 6.4's aren't good on fuel. He also has a pretty serious hesitation when trying to get on it to get on the freeway.

There were two red fox bodies there, one was a GT and one was a Fobra. I know the Fobra came with another guy from Wallingford, so maybe.

Here are the two guys from Wallingford. Green car guy's name is Ron.

good morning (late) CT. i dont see any rain yet, im trying to get my list of stuff done so i can meet up with josiah and take a look at his lights.

brendon- if you see him again, you could tell the kid that my wife doesnt want to race him every time they meet up at a red light. her car is stock (not counting exhaust, lowered 2", and the roll cage) and she knows its no drag car. sometimes when ricers get real annoying she will burn them, but she knows they dont stand a a chance
