Joe,
For $200 I can arrange to have his trailer welded shut while he's sleeping soundly in OC the night before the show.

I was only there Saturday afternoon from about 2 pm to 6 pm. Any longer than that and I start to go into shock from all the billet aluminum tail light covers, and cheesy air brushed paint jobs...

Yeah Brian said we'd get along... at "dinner" (dinner = beer ingestion) later than night I was bitching about how many C5 owners "overdid" the mods. Then he showed me your pic w/ the airburshed shark

I mean guys that put tons of yellow **** under the hood, carbon intake manifold covers, and get their front engine accessories powdercoated black are surely gay.
