I have a 1991 Buick Centery… basic mods are, remote start, trans-am factory cd player, and a little rust on the drivers rear door. Where do you recommend that I start to get a little more horsepower out of it? You can PM me if you don’t want to reveal your secrets… I understand… BIG THANKS!!!

sorry dawg didnt know you was a nigga that was the real deal son. But, since you’re so fucking awesome and we suck so much, let’s make a truce. If you stop posting here, i promise I won’t make your mother suck her shit off my cock tonight. Now, note that I said MAKE her. If she wants to, I shant deny her.
