Keith, knock it off with the racing posts, I have cabin-fever as it is. If I'd any brains and $$$ I'd already be down in Mojave right now instead of posting from home. :flipoff:

It's nice to see Method Wheels getting the exposure. :D Local shop's delivery recently..

I couldn't judge the age vs. parenting part b/c I was driving boats and other stuff by 9, oddly enough right where I took us out to play that day. :D
That said, I had my actual Class C license all of 40 minutes before some idiot tailgated me wrecking my bumper and tailgate..

..and yes, I was in a stick shift!

*Also was shooting and hunting by 7..I miss Grandpa.

Tried heading out on some fire roads yet, all you'll need is 3 gears unless it's whining all the time.
