yea see what had happen was i typed Ken on my phone and it spell checked it to Kevin and i didnt notice til now

UPDATE: well guys i picked up the max wedsnesday @ about 5pm paid the guy and i split like a banana i noticed the gas light was on so i was worried i was gonna run out of gas before i found a gas station and well after i drove down 1 block the car stalled on me lol so i started it back up and moved a few feet than it died again the muffler sounded like it was under water gargling so i start it again this time i just said eff it and rev'd the hell out of it to keep it on til i made it across the street to the gas station. filled it up about half way, put air in my tire and voila car was up and running. so i headed towards Doughboys pad to chill and eat. and i made it home with no issues what so ever. but as doughboy says "knock on woodgrain"

Finally made it to DB's pad and well this is me having a lil fun pulling into Doughboys driveway (NO HOMO) lol

I gotta take care of my motor mounts and o2 sensor. Probably after that, I'll get rear sway bar, I noticed today that I need more traction.
