and derrick these shirts in ur signature are they able to be shipped up to canada? id love to rep that **** up here

im confident in my 6cyl. to be able to perform fairly well for its weight. Although its going to be overworked and i expect it to blow up before the end of the season . Then il buy a crate motor

lets see, if twink spent $5k on his truck, just for $3.5 for, you could get a another truck that is potentially faster. but of course, you will feel a whole better doing it yourself. you can be proud of your hardwork
i actually like the paint job on that truck. at least its not those cheap fake vinyl flames that people do. those look really ugly

i like my ram though..jsut not it's power. and i am just spoiling myself. this is the front of my house in summer:

and there's usually a maxima parked out front too...and that's fast as ****. i have all the power i need, just none of it being trucks. now i'm considering selling the camaro for the shear purpose of buying myself an old s10 and throwing an ls1 in it...jsut for the sake of having a pickup that is fast...and i LOVE that camaro. i got this truck and was like, "eh, it's a work truck. i don't need to hemi". and now i wish i just would bought an old truck two years ago and went from there...not a stupid v6 underpowered ram.
