I'm just doing this until my boxing career gets off the ground...

About Me

Torque is more fun around town, and let's face it, if you ain't going to the track on a regular basis, you're gonna want to bump up the torque a little, even if it's at the expense of your rear-wheel horsepower. 'Course, when you and the kiddies are hangin out at the cafe stokin' egos and burnin' rubber, you might want to just add some virtual horsepower so you don't feel too bad. Then, smoke 'em on the way out the parking lot.I pimped my MySpace with Dainger the Rhythm Ranger's 5.0 swingin glockenspiel amplifier.
