    + this:



    I dunno... I'd be concerned about brakes... The max speed is listed as 60mph...
    Can prolly get a decent 600 for what it would cost to make it happen.

    It'd definitely be different, though.

    Why buy a welder when you can just work out a simple trade with a buddy who has one, maybe in exchange for some beer?

    Heres a condom. I figured since youre acting like a dick, you should dress like one too.

    Besides being off topic, isn't it Spaten Oktoberfest time? That is one of my favorite beers.

    Bring those girls and you can have what's left of my oak filler rod. You'll need an Argon/Chlorophyl mix, though... I don't think AirGas carries it.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?
