She sucessfully ( in one try) flipped at 180 with the e brake and kept going like she had done it a million other times. And then continued to go on to dust a vette ('10). I asked her if she put her moves on the car to excite it like that. (She dances hip hop) I think i enjoyed the passenger seat more than the drivers seat!

That's awesome lil' Bro, got to love a lady that knows how to handle a mean machine Much Respect!

You got that right Tim, Centree does a helluva job, and he's working on my dash plaques now. I'll even have another item for him to work on shortly! I'll post up those plaques tomorrow also. The move is done, 75% of the stuff is put away at our main house and I'll be visiting the shore house to drop off the 20+ surfboard quiver this weekend and getting that house ready for a great summer! It's already starting off GREAT!

The car will be showcased in building T the whole weekend and will be roped off! How cool is that on the heels of 2 magazine features, to now be invited to showcase the ZLX INSIDE!!!

I'm sure many members will be attending, so try to stop by and say hello, maybe a little road trip in the making??? I'll be staying up in Carlisle from Thursday 6/20 to Sunday 6/23, because they want the car there the day before the event starts. It's one of the biggest Car Show/Event in the country with all the big names in the auto world there, 1000s of hot rods, and any kind of car you can imagine and loads of things to do, see, buy, tuning workshops, etc....It usually attracts tens of thousands of people!! Lots of Best Club & Car categories, Burnout competitions, it's the BIGGEST show on the coast, and one of the biggest in the country!!!

I'm sure by then, they'll be some news about a "new to the area" World Renowned Camaro club starting up, so I see a road trip in some members futures!
