      You were my first wall ride must watch slider.
      I loved when you were feeling the night and would run those banked walls.
      As soon as RTR took off I instantly knew a legend was born. He chose a life, through a passion, that keeps a smile on his face.
      Legend brother!🤙🏼

      If you’ve ever seen his shop that he was building them out of it’s insane. Wasn’t much at all.

      Yeah, coming from a background at a dealership in the 90s, I would agree.
      A GM technician that was sent to our dealership, from the factory, to train us on the brand new onstar systems installation told us
      “The best and fastest way the GM recommends, is to strip Back the large pink wire under the dashboard stick your probe light through it, and wrap the onstar power wire into it and wrap it with electrical tape”.
      I was not impressed.
      I then thought to myself
      These customers think that they are getting top notch service at a factory dealership.
      They may be a home mechanic that’s talented and had them install it so it’s top notch.😞😩

I completely agree with as a newcomer to the Ford brand. The first Ford product I ever bought was an RTR Mustang and knew nothing about the platform. Now I'm hooked on all things Ford!
