If you have been visiting the page in the last few days then you may have clicked play on the video of the week, and if you have watched this video once then you should have fallen in love at first sight (and if you didn’t then there is something wrong with you and you should get checked into a hospital).
We’ve all heard the term “breakin’ necks & causin’
wrecks” but if you’ve seen this car then there is a pretty good chance you
might be rocking a neck brace at this very moment. Now I haven’t personally
seen this beauty in the flesh but I’ve seen my fair share of videos and
pictures, but I assume to watch Stephen Knoop slide the ass of this LS1 powered
S14 is a blessing to the eyes and to hear it roar is a whole other story.
Now there is good news and bad news to this story, if you
follow Stephen on any social media then you would know that he fucked his knee
up pretty badly in a skating accident. So badly that he has to hobble around
his house and is in so much pain he uses his crutch to drive around in his
daily. Now the good news is that Stephen took the time this weekend to clean
his garage (with a pimp limp) and snap a couple of shots of his beast in
hibernation.
