Black mamba? seriously dude?
And those pics are just overly contrasted.

If I apply to 25 schools it came out to be $3315... X.x
If I sell my RE30s with tires I MIGHT have enough lol

Lal, I've always like the looks of your Type S. Veggie does a really good job on the pics. I've never named my car.....or anything else. But, to each his own!

Tell your car to stop doing photoshoots and go negotiate with the owners so we can end this lockout.
