Do you know how many times I heard that? We should make "The Autocrossers

Yeah, I tried, Mannix was a instructor and he ran with me, yelling "Right,
left, right, keep it on the floor!"...have to go to a empty pakinglot and

I *had* 1/2 tank!....I'll have to try as full as possible, as the transfer
pump thing isn't something I want to get into at this point, but thanks
for the suggestion!

Alot of people have been interested in this, *IF* there is 2 of them then
I will have to do a stupid bid thing or something...I'll find out
tomarrow...

As far as where it goes, from hella they came with a new bracket that
attatches to the bottom of your bumper, had lights and everything(because
your old liscense plate lights light up the relector at night....)...I
noticed that the one in the yard had the bracket, but no lights...so we'll
see tomarrow what I can come up with...
