    Yes, because my driveway isn't redneck looking enough already, lol. On the other hand, what's one more. Ship it!

    I will post more pics here. Don't know what I want yet, have to see how much I spend getting it ready to sell. Need to get the brakes unlocked before anything can happen. Not dragging on/off a trailer again!!!!
