BURNOUT!
Representin!

SC:What kind of car do u have?
1995 Emerald Green Dodge Neon 4-dr SOHC 5-speed

SweetCarz.com:what do u call her?
GreenHornet

SC:what would u have to say is your favorite mod to her and why?
the green neons, cuz they get lots of looks w/o me having to scream out my window or bump my system

3rd place NOPI Nationals 1999 mild; 8 trophies total

SC:where is your favorite place to hang out in the Green Hornet?
Duluth Regal theater

SC:Any clubs you are involved in and sponsers?
Stock Options club, no sponsers

SC:What made u want to get a Dodge Neon?
i work for dodge, and wanted a compact that was affordable and had a manual trans.

SC: what was your first or biggest impression or introduction into "this world"?
being in the opening and closing of the Olympic Games 1996

SC:care to explain, I am quite interested myself

i mean paralympic games, my parents have a dance group, and they asked us to be in the opening and closing parades inside turner fields representing Chile, i was standing under the torch when it was put out, there were a few pix of me in the newspaper waving a chilean flag under the torch, that mofo was LOUD,

SC: *mental notes*after pondering minutes of silence we come to the conclusion he did not understand the question :), so it is reworded to car modding scene
Carlo: my dad got me into cars, and my first car got me into modding, a baby blue 1969 VW Bug

SC: What is the most important upgrade that would make the Neon complete?
Carlo:mmm damn thats a tough one, but i think it would be a mexican 2.4L turbo motor swap

SC: mexican motor eh?
well, cuz only motor swappable into a neon is the chrysler 2.4 and those come out of the stratus but in mexico they have a stratus R/T w/ a turbo 2.4

SC: What would u like to see in this industry? plus all thanks to people and shops u use

more respect for the domestics!
