Mike Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Hey Joe, tell your buddy I'd be interested in the V8 complete for spare parts.Thanks,Rob Hmmm, I think I may also need a garage stretcher. I now have to back one of my trucks up to the door to keep it closed. Joe can you also send me some building supplies along with the V8, Buddy ole pal? Thank You kindly!!!

Happens more than it should. All you need is a length of chain, trailer hitch, mile of country road, and a bottle of methyolate for equalization with the seller.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
