Background
Car was originally purchased in FL by the first owner, sold to the second owner who lived in IL.

Second owner was a truck driver who cared for the car much better than I did. Only drove it when he was home and kept it in the garage, under a cover otherwise.

I purchased this car at 154k miles from Valentin Satri, the neighbor of Owner # 2, and also a DSM Enthusiast; on behalf of the 'true' owner.

This car spent the next 9 years of its life being built while daily driven in Wisconsin. It is now a 500+ horsepower / 11 second daily driver. Reaching 300k miles now and he still loves to party.

Keeping the Old Beast alive, It is now living in Crossville, TN with retirement plans of stirring the pot at the local dragstrip, which is dominated by domestics.
