Demon from south of the border in LaMesa

I've never seen this gas cap before... is it the normal one for a Demon? I don't know, it wasn't on mine

A couple of other Demons that I posted before don't have this gas cap: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/03/72-dodge-demon-built-by-aaron-at-viau.html and http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/05/coolest-demon-ive-ever-seen.html

Les's hauler has a new rider, a Panoz!

To compare the Panoz to the previous race car on the hauler (my favorite) the Trans Am racing Boss 302 http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/08/tour-of-les-hauler-and-boss-302-much.html http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/04/this-awesome-mustang-now-has-dedicated.html

This is a scam, because: this job looks fine, but the method of payment is a check that is for a large amount, and from that large check that you have to cash, the scammer wants a part, and you pay for all the incidentals like the rental car etc.
