After Getting Fixed:
Whats up? I just got my ride on June 16, 2001! My Blazer wasn't even a year old, but I had to flip something newer. And within an hour of signing all the paper work for the Sonoma, I already sold my Blazer.
I will have some more information up about my new truck soon. But since I got it, I haven't had time to really put time into customizing it. I will hopefully have most of the planned future upgrades purchased and installed and more customizations added before this next seasons competition curcuit.
This truck will hopefully push the audio number up enough to get the goal of 150 DB. I put alot of work and energy into Venom to reach for that number. I was able to win tons of competitions with the numbers I got, but I am always looking for ways to push the numbers higher with the competition doing the same. It will take some time until this system layout is complete.
My last vehicle, "Venom" got me through five or six competitions with three first place trophys, one second place, and the lowest outcome being 4th place. I hope the trend of 1st place continues with this new truck.
