Keep up the good work!!

Airbags? I'm going to look into those for our green box.

It hurts to hear your car scrape, it hurts even more to get it fixed.

Nick...Love the box!!! If you ever want to take on another project I'll pay you to help me paint some of my box (or at least my R/C cars).

And Mo...I know...I know...that's why I'll never put the lowering springs on. I'm sorry for all the damage I did to the Honda and I promise to not do it to this one ;)
