new guy from gatlinburg tn

Hey everyone my names Josh. I purchased my recently modified r53 about three weeks ago. Its an amazing car to drive, especially living around the Smokey mountains. I got out of the military last March and have had the car itch for a few years and when mighty car mods posted some mini videos I had to have one.

I hope I get to meet some cool people on here and eventually get down to minis on the dragon.

Very nice. Looks like they've done away with all the chrome bits. Looks good on the white roof/mirror caps. I always use those do it yourself car washes because my car is too low as well. Or I wash it in my driveway when I have more time. We have some car detailing products HERE if needed. If you ever need anything just let me know. Enjoy!

You're pretty darned close to the Dragon! Congrats on the R53... looks like it's been out and about enjoying some snowy Smokey Mountains.

These aren't drive through car wash cars anyhow, they need a loving hand wash. Wilwood brakes, awesome.
