the guy who posted the pic and used huge fonts.........clearly he's proud of that level of craftsmanship
again, this is why the car culture here cannot move forward...........rather than try to help each other improve, we pat each other on the shoulder and proudly applaud each other for wallowing in mediocrity.....
