Wow, I think that's Mauro's stuff. I heard not to long after he picked up his white 03 cobra from us that he was busted for being a big drug dealer in Pittsburg. I may be wrong, but he had a black Z-06 Vette, a custom chopper that won first at carlise and a turbo'ed crotch rocked.

If you need any more details on the car, I did most of the work on it. It has a newly rebuilt short block in her now. It has a Whipple on it with 60lb injectors, Mac LT headers with an off road h pipe.. It also has a solid rear end with forged moser axles and a spool. Tokico drag struts on the front with coil overs and tokico's on the back. It also has a Rhodes 8 point roll cage with swing outs. One thing is the car wasn't done when he picked it up. So it may still be missing a few parts that he lost and we were waiting on.

So is anyone interested in heading up there Saturday morning?
that house is right over the hill from me, they start at half a mill and up.
Guess if the dumb f$ck would of got a real job like the rest of us things wouldn't be so bad!
Then again there wouldn't be anything to auction off either! Glad I worked for what I got! :flip:
WEll put ED. Means much more when you EARN it!!!!!
I never met the guy, but heard many stories about him and always wondered how a guy with no job had so much. now I know! I also heard he was a real a$$bag to everyone??? as if his $hit didnt stinck????
I met him at the track a few times. He didn't come off as a dick to me, but I think he did come from a family with money, which just makes he recent legal troubles even more senseless.
Again, I never met him, only heard stories.
Every time I talked to him he was real cool and laid back. I always thought his mom had money or something. The weird thing is he always paid CASH. He'd bring thousands of dollars of cash to pay his bills. Things that just make you go hmmm.

You did not know that delivering pizzas and chinese food paid so well? We used to talk along time ago, I knew his dad that got fatally injured in an accident on the paryway some years ago. The story of that family is VERY interesting, thats all I am gonna say on that. 01cobra probally knows some of the history also. I remember ordering chinese food one day and he brought in in the RX-7. HAHA bad ass car. I also remember running him on the Parkway when I had my Acura. He said I gave him the best run he has ever had. Foolishly the speed was well over 150-160mph. Carl Bastone can vouch that one. The spray in his Camaro was just not enough to keep up. The fire ball comming out of the rear of the RX-7 was a sight that I hoped never to see again!!

There are more but that's all that was logged!!!
I just got back from the estate sale... they had a price of 32k on the Cobra, 65k on the vet and 14k on the turbo bike... It was really kind of sad seeing a bunch of people rummaging around the home and thinking how I would feel if this happened to me (we all don't know what really transpired?) I was wondering if he was used to a lifestyle and was getting low on money and tried to make a quick buck? who knows?
I am not sticking up for him..all I know was he always talked to me at the track and on the street when I would run into him.
All I could hope for him is he does his time...learns from it and gets his life back together.
