      well, james has done a lot of things... his car can be considered a freakin' gokart. he has an engine, a body, driver's seat, and two big *** bottles of nitrous. he won't even paint that damn hood because paint weighs too much.

          Man, I love having the backseats out. More room for tool and junk storage back there now. Also removed jack, spare, seatbelts, kick panels, and 30 lbs of fat (mine). :D
