#42556 Once I have more time, money, and space, I want to make a living restoring EGs to their former beauty :hehe: haha.

But seriously, it'd be sweet to have a fleet, fully restored and swapped, "What should I drive today? Boosted B? N/A K?" :lol:

Edit: Forgot the reason to my post, your compliment :P Great work so far, you know we're pic whores :thumb:

Imma pick up the z6 since it's much cheaper. $280 vs $70 no contest...

Ay are you gonna be chillen at Scotts tomorrow? Since imma be heading out the Escindido I can stop by Scotts on the way back and kick it for a cool minute.

Edit: Is that the Challenger you were tellin me about in the background?
