Default Lars is still "the Man".

Lars came over the other day and gave me a new way to configure side pipes. Although technically not C3 related (my C3's are still under cover from their winter nap), I thought you would like an update on the creative thinking that Lars brings to any subject. I have taken a break from Corvettes and am assembling a Factory Five Cobra replicar. Take a look at Lars's prototype system.

Lars still rules all, Bitches! Hey Lars, How is Metallica doing these days? Did you leave them to rejoin Neptune?

Lars obviously had his mind in the gutter.

Looks like that will also take care of any condensation problems in the exhaust also.

Geez, Ralph... I told you to paint 'em silver before you mounted them. Some people are just beyond help...

Silver-Six: I was going to see if Metallica and AC/DC would like the opportunity to be the opening act for Neptune's this year - it would be something for them to put on their resumes while Metallica looks for another drummer...

What does this post mean? Who are the Bitches you are refering to?

I guess the first sentence is white kid ghetto talk

We were speaking of Lars Grimsrud, not Lars Ulrich.

Geez, give a kid a computer and .......

Hey! When I was 10 years old and built my billy cart (US translation: soap box racer) in Ferntree Gully I had a complete roll bar system made out of PVC! Safety first, right?
