Technically the only time your car hasn't broken is when you were doing autox =)

Yeah, this is me. I take spare tire out too. But I still leave my amp and all my sounds. The power my car had makes up for it...I'm not too good at this smack talking thing.

But yes Cory, I'm excited too, I think we will have some serious battles. Hopefully ken shows face this season too.

So since a battery under the passnegers seat is a no-no..... I needed a bracket. So I made one, and put the battery in the trunk. Actually finding a place for it was kind of a pita because of the multiple metal layers in certain areas, but this location is good for me.
