Hey Steve(SHS) Congrats on ROTM. My big news is, I'm not the "OLD GUY" anymore. Thanks to Shellback and his beautiful 2014 Black GT/CS drop top...I feel much younger now.

Jay...congrats on the win Boss man...

I forgot to tell you all about this. As we were getting on the highway to head up on Saturday, this was the scene at the on ramp for I-85.



I'm not sure how they managed that but it was pretty damned funny and I couldn't help but to laugh at them even though I had the windows down and they could hear me.

I forgot to mention that there was another truck/van in front of it. It looked like they were towing the van but how the engine ended up on the ground in front of it still baffles me.

OK Jeff...I figured it out.

Van was for sale

Pit crew bought the van and were taking it home

Front clip is off of the van = engine removal/swap

PO forgot to tell the pit crew that motor mounts were not bolted down

During tow...Pit crew slammed on brakes to keep from hitting tow vehicle.

The pic says the rest...

Hello spectre.

What a bad day that would have been to get out and think the chain came loose only to find out you pulled the motor out. Lol. That sucks.
