It was just another day, another day to get to the country club and make some more friends. I woke up around 6:00 o’clock to get ready. I put on my makeup, my red lipstick, and my red dress. I had on white tennis shoes, almost the color of pearls. I walk outside and it seems to be very foggy and gloomy, almost to the point that you can’t see 5 feet in front of your face. I started my car, a grey and chrome Toyota, and drove out of the garage into the foggy abyss. As I was driving I had seen an…

A mid central region of NASCAR would be ideal, since NASCAR built race car tracks in the majority of the states along the east coast. It would be wise for NASCAR to have a more centralized location, that is very popular. I would recommend Nashville as the identified location, due it being the capital of Tennessee and an area of tourist attraction. One of the…

Magnaflow is quickly becoming the system of choice with its loud and…
