Chris and his wife Niki have been down with Jade since 05--but
they've already been to more events than half the other Jade members
combined this year. Their dedication and drive to the scene is
approaching 'ridiculous level' and the amount of exposure they've
gotten with their 'sun kissed' 3000GT is what ALL tuners long
for. 'Best Of' Awards? Check. Interview on TV? Check. Magazine
coverage? Check. International Magazine Coverage?! Check. The sheer
sexyness to slow down Interstate traffic 15mph to catch a glimpse of
your car on the side of the road getting a flat repaired? Umm, check
on that also. For a guy that manages a truck accessory store, Chris
sure knows his away around this 3SI.
