I would never own that.... would be too scared to get any dirt and road grime on it and have nightmares about how much time it would take to detail it topside, bottom side, and inside

We haven't talked to him in years since he ****ed us over on a deal. It was probably his BIL doing the welding. Where is his shop now? Still in 'burg?
