      What us 04-06 gto guys need is a supplier that builds things like k members, sway bars, shocks, because there’s legit only 1 company I know that will build a k member and they want like 3k for a kmember that’s not worth more than 6 or 7 hundred dollars but because they’re the only folks in the us that will make it they charge what they want.

    I really enjoy these kinds of videos. Every manufacturer tour. You guys have done an amazing job showing these companies behind the scenes, day today. Rosler, pro charger, summit, can't even remember them all. This was a great model of success. Not just their sales, and products, more o how you keep good people around , keep them happy, make them feel part of something bigger.

It sure looks like the competition has gotten closer this year. We the moronation have your back ,and hoping and wishing you all the luck. I'm not sure that I like the way that the team competition is set-up but that's all the more reason I hope to see more content from you as your journey goes your travels and all as in the past.
