Such profligacy!
From you of all people!
I'm shocked!
Nah. I don't blame you one little bit. I've seen the time, sweat, and thought that you've put into this build, and I reckon you've earned a splurge with your money.
And I'm pleased for you that it went through certification so easily.
Get out now and drive the wheels off the thing! Burn some rubber!
(But only on a private road with Police supervision and no public access of course!)

HAHAHA,
You had me laughing with that one, even though I had to look up “profligacy” to see what that meant!
I’m looking forward to calling the police department to ask them to supervise my burnouts.
Yes that inspector definitely had me sweating and stewing for a bit. I think I managed to maintain my poker face.
And thanks guys, I’m really looking forward to the coming months. I’m planning on heading to the Billetproof show in Ocala, Florida in March. That’s about a two hour drive for me.Steve

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
