Title: stock sucks
Post by: ohgood on January 15, 2011, 06:13:00 PM
i like stock, except for when it means i have to pay 40x what something is worth... and wait weeks for parts when i have perftectly good crap laying around i can fix it with...

stupid tail light jumped out and smashed itself all over a tree...
