Re: Shit, I think my car was totalled today

That car is literally in my home town. Jeff, the restaurant we had lunch in used to be the Cadillac Saab dealership from that same dealership chain. Who just bought the Porsche dealership because the current owner didn't want to build the new building Porsche was demanding.

Re: Racetrack Stuff

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com
