MODS- EVERY..LOL (remember Don's Bolt old sig)

41,000 miles and YES I drive it.

Went to 4 cruise nights lately and put over 300 miles on her in dec/jan.

Last year in Feb. I drove to Florida (1000 miles) , raced (Low 11s) Drove around (300 miles) and drove home (1000 miles) all in one week.

Yes I do trailer to the track for Big # days or national events, BUT I still drive to test and tunes and cruises.

I still have my 2 tens, amp, PS2, T.V. radio, air, PS, etc.. and plan to keep it that way.
