Title: Sorry 'bout that script Post by: Vdubchef on April 02, 2016, 18:11:20 pm Been seeing this script or decal on many old school cal lookers and dragsters. What's the story behind it, the meaning of it? On secondly, where can I get one of those decals? Looks damn cool. Thanks!

Win the race, big deal, you beat a Volkswagen. Lose the race and you really look bad! Sorry 'bout that!
