This is how you make an entire tail light out of red light repair tape and 100 mph tape. It held up for a while when I was still driving the car on the street. I broke the light out reversing full speed into an abandoned boat at Tifft.:mamoru: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/jettagli1991/Lincoln7.jpg?t=1185226931](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v191/jettagli1991/Lincoln7.jpg?t=1185226931) ---

I am just bored of dealing with stupid fucking people on the internet who think they are the shit because they can insult someone through a screen. Then they usually have a lit of “people I don’t Like” in their sigs so the whole world can see their awesome dominance over the human race. Your 4700 post count demonstrates clearly just how cool you really are. :newman: Thankfully the internet has ignore features to deal with people like you.
