Royalty Check

Sorry about breaking the news early on the VooDoo XKR technology now in development. Chris and Dylan were just too funny during that discussion in the shop so I had to share it with the community,...

And to think everyone has been making all their motors shiny and pretyy when all along we should have just made them look ugly. Ugly= 1000whp. . . it all makes sense now.

Keep an eye in the marketplace, they usually pop up every now and then.

The diff's weigh around 75 lbs, so shipping will play a part in the final price paid.

Expect to pay between $375-450 shipped depending upon seller/buyer circumstances.

Honestly, Chris had the VLSD swapped out in a couple of hours working by himself so we are not talking about huge sums of money to give it a try and then swap it back if you don't like it.

Definitely talk to him about it.

I didn't get a chance to actually go in.

Chris and Dylan told me they made a mistake once and let a customer go in to the shed/shack/pod once and he never came out,... never. Thats some nasty VooDoo (TM)

You got that right.

The Forged Shed has new upgraded hard wood flooring and granite countertops. The back kitchen area supposedly has brand new appliances and there is an unconfirmed rumor there is a brand new 60 inch LCD mounted in there as well. Sharif installed that special getting ready for the release of the new XKR engine coatings, lol.

If customers were allowed in there, its pretty easy to see why they do not want to leave

It's padlocked for a reason. I didn't tell Toast this, but we actually have a little hermit-like unibomber that builds the engines in the shed. We only open the door slightly to throw him some food/water every couple of days.

As Toast mentioned, the one nosey customer that found his way actually INSIDE the shed, hasn't been seen for months.

That engine building hobbit Sharif has stuck in there is mean SOB to hear the techs talk about him. Dylan doesn't even like to take him food or water anymore after what happened to the last customer in there.

I am gonna let a lil secret out. . . I snuck in and saw the little "gremlin" one day while I was waiting for Sharif. It's his secret brother that his family discarded since he didn't meet the Tuner standard as a child. He resembles the guy from The Goonies and drools alot. Apparently he learned how to make motors very well, but I tell ya he sucks at conversation.
