Love of vehicles, thats all it really takes. Youd be surprised what you can learn on the way.
Ive seen guys that were super mechanics, that couldnt do much else when it came to other vehicle things, other then the motor.


Now in regards to sewing, Jim, your gonna make someone a fine wife someday haha
I shouldnt joke, i took home ec in high school too.
My reasons were purely chicks though, and let me just say, it works!

When it comes to J-L there is nothing that I won't do for her. I have had to do stuff for my self for a long time. Sewing stuff is one of them. She is happy now, Isewed the bear and she stuffed it.

What? Did I read this correct? NEVER! You can't never slow down,well thats the way Im looking at it. I guess if I start to slow down,the age might catch up with me,and not gonna let it...

I am the type that if you work with me,your not going to out work me.
My thinking is hit it hard and get finished early.Then you have time to rest.
I was thinking the same thing when I flipped over a little bit ago. I guess we got something good started,and not going to let it end.... Oh by the way, she said 5,4' right? well with the 4" cfm boots, thats JUST about the rite spot...

I like chrome rims too, I just don't like the upkeep. Chrome needs polished constantly and it rusts easily. Call me lazy, I don't want to be constantly rubbing down my wheels.
Yea exactly, thats what I was thinking lol. My sister made it so I couldnt really complain.

I feel the same way about chrome rims, I barely wash my truck now I dont know if I could keep up with some chrome rims too.
