Fingers crossed buddy. And I will gladly not share my delicious mac n cheese with you! To be honest, I don't mind buffalo stuff, but I am not sure I want it to taint my mac n cheese. We'll see what happens, I am not the one making it.

i liked and i know ray is a huge fan of the synthetic grease. it tends to hold up much longer than conventional. like pete said though, anyu grease is better than none. just make sure you keep it greased dont let anything run dry.

josiah how old are you now? 30?

andy he is going to the place where you came to meet us, but the dyno was broken and spitting out 190hp for a 675hp cobra so nobody ran. they can run duallies but the outside tires hang off in the air.
