i first contacted Howie when i bought the z06 in 08. he refused to work on my car. then i heard horror stories. went to ECS instead. i sure hope he doesnt have the same pack of cronies with him everytime hes around here in NY. then its all going to start again, almost guarentee it. Paul, dont worry i like you. ---

i’m just poking the bear. last week travis called you out and you wouldn’t race him because you said you were having a kid (congrats btw) but now you’re calling out slowgto. Why call him out if you’re not willing to back it up and race?
