I had to get this POS outa the drive before the HOA callled the cops
I put the black buggy over a t a friends house down the street.
I felt like I was leaving a Kid behind

itchy HOA's. I'll be resigning from my board position this month. Of course for the past two years I have not recieved a sigle letter I guess it does pay to have friends in high places

Put together the short block last weekend
not too bad so far
first time I have attempted this by myself, but what a better time than now to learn by hands on.
So far so good, turns nice and seems to be pretty straight forward by the Book
