Wooooooooo!!!!! haha.. check out your new MCG~!!!!

The printed copy makes the car look a little darker, but these digital shots are great. My whole story is in there.
Super excited this happened.

Haha, yep! The car has less then two miles on it so far.. What a shame. It's fun to look at though! Haha. I'll drive the piss out of the purple car when it's done ;)

The car was nice from 20 feet away! It was a good driver for sure. I think when I saw it back then it was $8000!?!?

Thank u!
It's been a long road, the magazine was the coolest thing to wrap up
the whole project. I am in a show this weekend, the Indianapolis World Of Wheels,
I'm excited to start the season off so early.
