Default Three Dirty Amigos Take a Brake

***UPDATED WITH BRAKING DISTANCES!!!***
The Three Dirty Amigos strike again, this time in Santa Fe Springs. Just a short meeting and braking test with t0e's big reds. Javy is in his last weekend of the Prius which he also took a 60-0 run. We'll be back next month.

1. Sneak (Time) Attack t0e


2. Unloading the pizza boxes


3. Big ventilated pizza


4. Which is bigger?


5. Dirty amigo t0e lit by my 3000k's


6. JavyLSU getting the "maximum charge" on his run - screeeeech!


7. Hi nice to meet you


8. t0e and hapaboy refilling, the Prius didn't need to


9. A bubble coming out of my head?

I like how the blue neon lights reflect off on the black IS's paint
Javy, did you get to talk with your "black roof" guy? I'm still waiting...

Hahaha!!! I was thinking this also, but instead looked closely at the bubble then realized that it wasn't an add-on. LoL!!!

On another note....the cars looks awesome. I wish I could post some pix of my car, but need to wait till I get something on it.

i rolled up the tape measure by then. but i'd say 80-100 ft. but i don't know where you started from. i'm sure the prius has a fair amount of engine braking no?

Man I would love those Endless calipers. Excellent pics. based on the title to the thread, I thought you were referring to "The Three Amigos." What a great movie and the El Gaupo's Sweater was priceless.

Haha! Brian - 'The Three Dirty Amigos' is a reference to this thread - a photoshoot where all three of our cars were dirty. Really dirty.
