Default Hey CF!

Well, I just got back from my year long tour in Afghanistan. I'm also still new here, so I just wanted to post, say hi and join the social circle of CF. Since my return home I've added a sound system (dual JL 10W7AE's, dual JL JX1000/D amps and a custom box from Fatbox USA) a pioneer 6300BT

For those that don't recall my last post, I'm rockin a

2003 C5-R modded Z06 nicknamed drastic.
