    Chicago will be redefining BMW high performance next season.

    This will be #2 of its kind for next season in Chicagoland.

    searching for a new one
    Is that car fugitive a of a junkyard? J/K

    Junk yard cars make great drag cars. Often times things that need to be removed are already gone...

    Pretty nuts project... how do you think it will handle going from MacPherson strut to short long arm suspension?
