What happens when a hand-me-down 1991 Toyota Camry, affectionately dubbed "the tank," faces off against some of the fastest modified cars in Orlando? Buckle up as we reminisce about the thrills, close calls, and unforgettable nights from our teenage years in the street racing scene. We'll take you to the heart of Orlando's vibrant car culture, where oversized rims and ingeniously modified Impalas reign supreme. Hear how budget constraints pushed us to creative solutions, like using dryer duct piping for an intake, proving that passion and resourcefulness can fuel even the wildest automotive dreams.
