    To be fair I always said to them that quality trumps speed.

    The car looks good. Some carp that was there before has been fixed. Or...They had a hell of time trying to replicate the carpy job I did in hacking up the back bumper. They just couldn't get that uneven-ness or the drops of glue I spilled.

    It's a shame I tell ya. :D

    Wow Nathan that looks damn good. Now can you put it in a garage somewhere before a drunk driver hits it or some idiot parkors over it.

    Remember everything comes in 3's.

    That car needs a Gnat Cave to park in instead of sitting out in the elements of the Short North District.

    It's good to see the "I heart Xiek" decal survived.

    Gnat is looking pretty darn good.
