Damn, that's a dope *** car!. Seriously, I hope you enjoy the car. I know I did. I forgot to give you the reciepts for all the crap I bought, like the motor etc....

I know that your dad was kind of concerned about the fender(s). The car may not look the best right now, but it runs damn strong, especially with that header and over $1000 of seating equipment.

If you need help with the header and all, just let me know and I'll come out with my tools.

I forgot to mention that since you bought the car, you need to start showing up to SoCal-7 meets. I'll see you at SevenStock 5 for sure.

Oh, and I always started the car with it in gear with a foot on the clutch. Once it's started, put it in neutral. This bypasses the 3k rpm accelerated warm-up routine, some say that it prolongs engine life. I expect you to do the same.

thanks joe, i know... my dad was iffy about me getting the car the whole time, i guess cuz he didn't really want me getting a car yet... but it's all good...

hmm, that means i'm going to have to sign up on the socal7s page... and yeah, i'm gonna go to sevenstock, should be a blast...

and the receipts, i'll get them when i get the speaker grills and stuffs or something...

thanks for taking the time to come out here and drop off the car. L8r

Nice car. Just keep in mind many people wreck their first car, so try to stay out of that category!
