This week Matt, Thad and Zack check in from the road with Rally North America.  The guys meet up with Larry Kosilla in New York and try out his newly modified 964 at Monticello.  Comparisons are made between the seedier parts of New York, Philadelphia and Memphis. Racial epithets are used in Ohio, a 1963 Corvette Stringray with an LS1 swap is driven and a glory hole is discovered at a rural rest stop. Want your question answered?
