    I would like to preface this post by apologizing for asking such basic questions. I have been doing some research but there is simply too much for me to sift through. Background- I'm a car guy through and through, Audi to be specific. I guess I'm a "white collar" worker going to work in suit...

    kra-59b

    he's my score of the day. maybe not "you ****" worthy, but I paid $100. I am thinking about repainting it, but I don't have the means currently. so i'll let it be the it is for a while. this will be a nice supplement to my current box.
