That is customer service. Very rare to find that at all. Sucks you gotta wait for new ones though

Yah it is for sure. Does suck. I had to wait for main bolts and clutch bolts. Now this. Ugh. I can't put anything together now due to that.

Yes, I know this... I checked the site last Friday and it had the 2nd listed as a date and the rest of the year listed as well... Now it lists only the dates for APRIL! Those lazy pig ******* over there finally realized that we are in the fourth month of this year and decided to finally update it from last year. ****** bloody *** bubbles

NICE!!! Glad to see the beast back on the road soon.


Man I hate having my car down. You Phoenix peeps are doing good up there and moving along very nice. Making great progress.

On another note we finally went out crusin and did a lil racing this weekend. Rey(Redferret) beat an LS1 SS Camaro w/ full intake/exhaust, stick car on sat. And Tyler(SS) I think my roomate Chris told you about the white maxima he always races. he raced him and lost in his Sentra. We think he did something new
