THE ONLY MASTER WHEEL BUILDER IN NORTHWEST FL!!! not to mention, he is a great mechanic. Also, he is a whoot to hang out with, so I do my best to help him keep the doors open.

The few times I've ordered online, I ordered the wrong part/accessory and had to return them (incompatability). After paying more in return fees than my refund was worth, I decided that I'd rather have somebody with 25 years of experience tell me it won't fit and save me the hassle than for me to get the part, be all giddy about it, and then become depressed at the realization that I'm a guber.

BTW, does declaring "Long Live the Penguin!" and using Linux to access this site help with the nerdiness?
