Title: ?Does anybody do this anymore?
Post by: prjctk10 on April 15, 2006, 07:37:00 pm: Does anyboy come up W/ names for their trucks or projects anymore? You used to see people W/ stuff painted on the bugshield, names on doors, etc. I came up W/ one for my k10 and I don't mind looking like an idiot but I wanted to know if I was going to be the only idiot in the country.
