yeah i bought it today ... it sucks to drive on the freeway though 4 speed + 373 gears = 60MPH on the freeway

what do you mean large or small journal?


i was wondering about paint its flat white right now and i was thinking about sanding it down and taking it to maaco or something and having them paint it flat burnt orange or something that a little nicer then flat white but im reading alot of bad stuff on there 2-300 dollar paint jobs haha but at the same time its just a flat color its not like im trying to get glossy black or something do you think it would be ok as long as i prep everything?
