    One thing I certainly respect about Mr. James is how he pays homage to the Masters and Legends of our hobby.

    Please Baby Jesus, in your divine swaddling please let this awesome car that was built by the legendary customisers of yester-year, let this car go for more money than that POS Brett Michaels Cock Rock Camaro, otherwise I may completely lose faith in humanity.
