I dont know how you people do it. I went a few weeks without a fast toy and almost lost my mind. (not so much-but you get the point). Oh well.

(not so much-but you get the point). Oh well. While working on my engineering degree it is hard to make ample money and have free time to work on it. I dont like just throwing things together, im a more patient person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
