The badass of all badasses

D-Hoff

The Errant Ridez '93 to present

The juiced '84 T'Bird on triple-gold D's ... (Nate Sherwood's '64 Impala)

The Galant ES V6 ... unfortunately, the 210hp V6 only came in an automatic, otherwise I'd have kept this ride 'till I died

The Talon TSi I raced in SCCA competition ... yes, these rims were pure utility to mount slicks on ... plus they looked like ass so nobody would steal them

The 5.0 Crustang I raced in SCCA competition ... I sold these rims and tires on ebay and set it up on slicks

The Vette I almost killed myself in twice (145mph on Autobahn and I reached my fear threshold ... it's supposed to hit 180mph if your crazy enough and don't piss yourself when the suspension starts floating around)

Everybody needs a $4,000 European spec 325 to thrash over here (125mph on Autobahn and smooth as shit)

The O-Five Cooper S

The 07 335i w/sport package
