Whats up Arling!!
Had a blast all weekend in the car, it really is a night and day difference.
Thank you again for the great service.

Hmmmmmm
Dare I take on the Porsche vs Vette question....
What the hell, you only live once.
Flame suit on check.
The Vette blows away the porsche....sike
I have never had an experience with a car(porsche) like I am having now.
Yes I have owned other sports cars, done plenty of mods and thought I was in eternal bilss...sure,sure.
Then I got a Porsche...its much different with a Porsche, how can I say it...love affair..least my wife thinks so...sickness...least my check book thinks so...but I would'nt trade the experience for the world ...and what an awesome community of fellow porschites to enjoy your passion with.
So to sum it up a Vette is just a car...a Porsche is a life changing experience.

Tom is a truly badass mechanic/tech who really knows his ****... its no wonder all the other shops outsource their work to him....oops the secrets out.... and Arling is a very laid back enthusiast who has access to a great selection of parts.

Niether of them are "salesmens" just enthusiasts who really knows their ****, thats why they sell.

Are you wearing a helmet in this pic? Or are your cheeks just completely FILLED with air??

I love sand sports! We have a nice trailer with some tricked out quads.. never got around to getting a rail

One of my friends' family has a ton of them, keep them at their home in mexico. One is a two seater that is pretty much 100% chromed out (a little bright in the sun ) and I forget how much power but it was MAD FAST They use jet fuel in the thing 24/7... you should think about using jet fuel some time. Although it is alot pricer, you get ALOT more power out of it! ITs safe too!!

You are secured by a 5point harness and wrist restraints.
