I'll be making some more soon. They are a hit over at work. So I'll let you know when they are done so you can send me your address.

As far as I'm concerned all these shots were amazing.

So, what's in the spray bottle, and what's the point?

I had a good time.
I feel sorry for the southern California and Florida crowd that never get to experience how these cars completely come alive in cold dry air. The sweet spot seems to be between about 45 and 30 degrees with under 50% humidity. Even fully stock it can feel like a totally different car in that range so I imagine that boosted would be spectacular.

I made the mistake of watching a little bit of that new Thelma show and the cancer cannot be cured.

Still no reason to ruin it. It probably drives like shit pulling around the useless extra set of wheels.

A lot of those off the shelf lift kits are garbage. They don't go with long enough shocks so they don't have any droop travel and top out all the time. I just went through this with a buddies truck, he bought a kit and it rode terribly. Some slightly longer front shocks and it rides so much better.
