if you're gonna make a run that fast at least look good doing it.   >:(
I get the advertising and so on but that vinyl/paint looked like an era from dungeons and dragons

no, rhino lining the entire car is.  seen quite a few of them and it's a great idea for a "hunting" vehicle.  no more washing.

I don't wash my cars. [roll]

257? Big deal. My friend's older brother busted the 45 year old Goldenrod Bonnie record a couple of years ago at 414+. And he had a decent paint job!! [thumbsup] ;D

By the way, Rett was Charles' 21 year old son that passed away on January 14, 2005 from an 11 year battle with bone cancer. One of the greatest kids of all time! [bow_down] RIP Rett. [thumbsup]

I admit, 257 in just a mile is a chunk of change... but 414 down the road is a wallet full. [thumbsup] [bow_down]
