Come on now.......

Her top coat cracked, but her wood work was amazing and the placement of her accessory items was super clean. She is just gonna have to redo the top coat situation.......
Speak for yourself! Mine gets some spirited driving just about every day.

EGT and Boost Pressure gauges are a true necessity if you want to turn up the performance. When I'm pulling a 12 degree 10 mile long grade at 60 or 70 mph, and I've got my foot in it, is NOT the best time to be looking down at the shifter to see if my boost pressure and EGTs are in at or below the danger point...
