Mooty - parking space are nearly impossible - have to back it in everywhere... it has a turning radius of 1.75 football fields and more understeer than a stock gt3.

What brand of trailer is that?

Doc - that is one nice looking truck!!!!!!!!!

OMFG. i dont need viagra this whole months. send me a high resolution pix.

btw, pm me on how to do the 19.5" wheel. is that like semi wheels?
so you have to lift suspension? will that make it hard to tow?
my GN is set up for regular ht 2500/3500, if i run 19.5 will the nose of GN clear my box?

let's not bored those porsche guys drivign little cars. pm me.
