now that's funny rat thar.
Say, I like the wheels on your van. The wheels on your victim aren't too bad either.
'89 Astro, 4.3L, TBI. Minor intake and exhaust mods. Rebuilt 700R4 trans (by me). Corvette servo, 0.5" boost valve, police grade 1-2 accumulator spring (shifts fast and solid). B&M stacked plate trans cooler. Bilstein shocks. Belltech sway bars front and back. New head unit, speakers and subwoofer. Needs paint and a new headliner.

name's Steve
I can't remember all I've forgotten about that....

Was that your boss' car? =D>

Did you jack up your bumper doing that? It looks tweaked a bit. Impressive articulation.

I won't try that at home, but with my road rage tendencies it may happen elsewhere!

It was a junker going to scrap.. it smells terrible, interior is trashed.. wheels are the nicest part!

The bumper is fine.. Those are DHC Off Road Mounts on there!! :supz:


I must say.. It was FAR more dramatic, and a MUCH better picture in my head.. but it sure was fun!
