Default AR Auto Service

I went to AR Auto Service today in Lake O.... I guess they're a new shop, it was very impressive, nice displays (that I'm sure will grow with time) and very clean. If you like shopping local I'd recommend checking the place out sometime, very friendly staff too. I found them from a craigslist post for an AP2 stock exhaust for $50 (oval tips for $50, heck ya!)..... anyhow, there was a red AP1 in there having the motor rebuilt... anyone from here?

I saw that ad and didn't even think of the oval tips (not like I would need them anyways). Nice grab though.

I can with 99 percent certainty back that up.

...did it have a Bride driver's seat? That'd be the clincher. He's been waiting on a new motor for a while so it's been there.

That's him, they mentioned he tracked the car a lot and over-reved, I did not notice the bride seat, but I didn't look very close...

I didn't even over-rev my car. I've never even hit the rev limiter. I was just cruising at 55 on I-5 and it started rattling VERY bad and then shut down.
