This pretty much follows the my race car motto:
At 50 MPH froma distance of 50 feet, what does it look
like. I like for the car to look presentable when
sitting still, but when It's moving is what I really
care about. Right now it is sitting on jack stands
getting an oil pan gasket and I think it looks sick.
Oh well, tomorrow after about an hours worth of work,
it'll once again look good at my 50/50 rule.

PS: Any good camp spots at Shasta, just bought a van
to pull the race car around with?
