About this Current Vehicle:

I purchased this car when I was 18. I started out doing very small mods, thinking i'd stick to vanity modifications due to it being a v6. While I had nothing to do I ended up tinkering with the car at work alot, and eventually, over the course of many years, its become what it is now. Im currently having traction issues, even with the slicks, so before I go for the twin turbo setup im planning, I have to do some more suspension tweaks.
