    The car sounds great ,and runs Good too ...Frank squeezed into it at around 15 mph or so and it proceded to effortlessly haze the tires:burnout: for about 20 feet... Frank looked like this ---> :character0182: Then when he pulled it back in the yard and got out like this--->:D

    And THAT is what its all about!:dancing:
