[s-cars] Hard Hitting rear brake configurization ? (NFB?)

[Hap Maguire]

Mr. Baloney

I do seem to recall your screamin voice as we took that ride down  
Lower Whacker in Chi-Town a few years back. I think I resemble that  
remark. Da BRRB(Big Red Rear Brake) Mod Now Big Yellow Rear Brakes 
(BYRB) was on Da Monstah foh 30,000 miles plus when that Bosch plug  
gave up da ghost and shredded things. Just you wait though cause  
we're getting close to a rebirth.

Hap, wit dakine Whacker memories not from Evahboost, Maguire
