When it arrived it ...

She's gonna be a beaut clark, make sure to go full box art on that resto! Definitely going do to box art. I personally think its the best looking one.

Hope this doesn't ruffle anyones panties but, i figured out why no one votes. It's just good ole fashioned laziness. I mean you vote for the president and its a waste of time (at least in Illinois) but in an important poll like this people just casually stroll by. this crap is serious!
