lol yes i have driven it quite a bit...ive put close to 500 miles on it...taken it to the track and ran a best so far of 8.72 in the 1/8th mile with a 2.03 60ft...been having trouble getting it to 60ft any better than 2.0x but for a very mild engine with what some would call mismatched parts it runs good...it has some 7.90's in it...i just have to tune it in to find them

You broke through a threshold with that spray paint, man. Seriously, you completely CHANGED the identity of your little rig, and did a FINE job at that.

It looks sharp.
