    Story behind the car:
    Too much to write about. The car was originally purchased in Germany while I was stationed on Ramstein, spent at least 1K on laps around the Green Hell, and finally brought the car out to CA when I moved to school out there, went to Ryan GMW for lots of work and then out to the east coast where Im stationed now. The car has a really colorful history behind it and all of its many moves, and owners (Im the 3rd owner). But its too much to list and write about here. Maybe one day Ill make a documentary on it. LOL

    Awesome car Yan, congrats on COTM. It's a bit to "Modified" visually for my taste, but it's awesome.

                Very nice Yan! Hopefully when I get back in town I can come check it out at the Fairfax meet, or if you have time to come up to the College park meets.
