How the hell do you get stung in the ass by a bee? Were we knocking a little dew off the lily this morning out in the back yard?

If you need to remove grease from the driveway, you can use laundry detergent. If you need to remove it from your hands, use toothpaste.

Why race a navigator. I would put some 22" rims on it and just.............chill.

I hate to say this, but if you can afford a Navigator you can afford to pay someone the $75 to have it installed.

yes you are right, you could, but some people would rather do stuff themselves then paying someone else to do it

I used to do everything myself also, rebuilt engines, swaped rears, installed sound, snaked cables.
Now I just like driving the thing
