Great work as always- I'd pop out a folding chair, pack a cooler, pop the garage door open and just sit. Thats going to make one nice ride to practice/ try out new products on - Dan
Haha actually, the M3 is the beater car to practice on lol It's all good, got a warehouse to store the R8 with all the other cars in the event the garage turns back to a two car garage lol
Wow what in the world LoL!? What do you folks do if you don't mind me asking . . . . . because the way i see it is that i'm in the wrong profession hahahaha
