How to piss off a Pinoy.

I'm sorry Mike. I had no idea you were going to look at the car! Yesterday was a long day. We started out rushing to Toronto to go see a 1983 Toyota Corolla. Upon arrival our Jaws dropped.

Trent Stromkins was out in his newly (very newly) completed 86 after he ended up painting a track wall with his last...
