I ran like a 16 that time.

Oh and I tossed a weird CEL too. It's gone now but it made me nervous
i bet that honda is all proud that he beat a TC, theres always nxt time, its like our balts were having an off day, i was running 18s wtf

On a victory red it's kinda hard to judge. Bronze would look funny imo and the whole black rims thing has been done and done over again. I say gun metal.
