Watch out for the Pothole.

We now have the first Capital Drift even under our collective belts. There were a couple of cuts, bruises and battle scars but everyone was able to roll home with some entertaining stories to tell.

What I really need is some input into what colour the car should be, not that primer gray isn't sexy. Also... $10 at a garage sale, I couldn't stop myself. I will be very happy...
