I feel for you, and I know it's frustrating... I the grand scheme of things though...
As MTCWBY told me, some people build bad cars so others can gawk and to give them something to talk about when things break... We fix it and move on... not an exact quote...
SST will run... Soon....

The members of Camaro5 never cease to amaze me and you my friend are exacty the reason why. I am truly speechless. Thank You.  |
Let me tell you guys something about Bruce....
I've gotten to know him fairly well over the last couple years... Even in our private conversations he has not once said anything disrespectful towards those involved in the building of this car. Of course he's frustrated by the delays. But not once has he taken a shot at any of the companies working on SST.
We are lucky to have you here, Bruce.
You are a class act my friend. Thanks for everything, and I'm sure SST will be the the kind of car people remember their entire lives.
Hang in there Boss man. Indy will be a great place to show her off.
