Just couldn't wait, could you?

You should be fine...might be a bitch to drive, but as long as it runs, you'll get where you need to be and back.

Yea, like Meent said, it will be a pain in the *** to drive, but if you can get it going down the road ok then you should be fine.


btw, Meent, I like the new sig b/c monster trucks are badass, but you have to put your old one back up....I don't think the teaser in your avatar is sufficient for my needs to stare at your car!
