| The event, the first in the �Open Garage� series, is a mini tech session and BBQ. Seen here is Terry Aultman, with his beautiful �TZZZR�, on the left, and John Bentley�s yellow L on the right. Terry�s car has square headlights, on it�s GT5 body with a spectacular blue hue. This is a Euro ~L, with a VIN just 16 away from my car. Production as it was, they are siblings ! There are quite a few differences in the details between the two cars. This GTS seemed to be as it left the factory, with very few owner changes. |

| New on the left is Bill Santo�s orange �pumpkin�. Recently it received a new engine, sucker radiator fans, and braided brake lines. |
| This is John Bentley�s recently purchased L. A very clean car, with a few interesting upgrades. Later we try a new set of wheels + tires. John�s plans include the Silver State race with Team Pantera Racing. |

| John�s car has the Pantera Performance camber lock kit seen here. |

| In this image you see just how close the half shaft comes to the exhaust. |

| After an alignment where the shop adjusted toe, this was observed. The boot was twisted until it ruptured and leaked the oil. |
