I consider myself hardcore.
I've done more to my car then a sane
person would to run a number.
It only stops when you make it stop.

I know one thing, never say "I'll never do that to my car" again. I've done most of the things that I said I never would. That's what happens when you get the mod bug. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Just say no. I haven't been able to do that yet. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
