    That guy lives near here. I've seen it in person and posted pictures of it before. Personally, I think it looks ridiculous.

    Well, one thing for sure....it's not "The next big thing".....more like "Old news", or "Been there, done that" .....back during the huge "Pro Street" trend in the 80's, there were double blowers, multiple turbos on big inch motors, basically, alot of "overblown" engine mods (anyone remember Rick Dobbertein"?.....the Godfather of Pro Street engine excess)

    IMHO, it looks as ridiculous now as I thought it did then,....only difference, back then, I was bucking the trend. Now cooler, more rational heads seem to prevail (with some very silly exceptions! LOL)
