Well, yellow is the fastest color, and the lifted rear end means it’s always going downhill!

Does that also help the mpg Curtis? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Looks sharp in silver wheels, & that helps them pop visually!
Time for another local newspaper car contest me thinks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)
