Default So i'm sitting with Shariff at starbucks...

Ya know... videos just don't do these turbo z33's justice. Evidently one of the baddest z tuners in the country had no idea. last night im sitting next to sharif at starbucks in marietta and i am no stranger to watching him give it some gas when it leaves... but last night i had a funny experience. i guess he let his buddy drive his car.. and he is sitting next to me and we are talking with some people we both know..and i cant help but laugh. the guy takes off up the street and Sharif is like.. "hey that sounds pretty good." (apparently he has never gotten to hear his own car from the outside... and then i get to watch as his happy face turn to sheer terror as he realizes the dude just keeps in it going faster and faster and this is a road where cops LIVE. pretty funny but he is right. built turbo z cars sound pretty amazing.. lower tone than supras which is nice. And sharifs car sounds damn amazing. one thing is for sure.. if i decide to buy and build another 350z instead of another s30... hes the man for the job! Now I just gotta get a ride in it since the new tune...

um...when I turned around and heard/saw my car screeming down Barrett Parkway...tires ablaze...I was certainly praying I didn't hear any crash/burn sounds.

haha....Devon's a good driver...there are very few people I would trust to drive my car. It's strange, but my engine sounds more like a V10 Viper...than a simple 350Z.
