But i'm still accepting bribes for my vote.

Damn, NAC showdown. It between adam and ross for me. I think i gotta go with ross, because i saw him break his jeep at NAC fest. Nice jeeps to all of you!

 

[XJLI]

ross is stuck in one of his pictures, he's dumb.

 

[foxwar71]

ross is stuck in one of his pictures, he's dumb.

And has a broken 806



That rockpile just keeps breaking stuff. I get bored, play on it for an hour or so, then do something silly and bust something. I plan on getting a dumptruck load or two and cutting down another tree so I can expend.
