yeah tell me about it. Now that we're on the subject,
I got this little big guy just about 7 weeks ago putting him at 14 weeks old. Already 35lbs, putting on about 6 lbs every two weeks. I just got him into a routine so now I get sleep without fear of waking up to a mine field of poo. He's gonna guard the vette! Except if you know Malamutes, they make the worst guard dogs b/c they love everybody, even strangers. shhhhhhh
And a bump for sly's side exhaust! Gotta get a car pic in there...gruhhh gruhhh gruhhh (tool man grunt)

Probably was i doubt he would have been on the track with a 6 banger?? I just know he was talking it up and how it was a manual and would bark the tires in the first 4 gears??
If its 1973 or newer i usually dont pay much attention to it!!
