Let me know what you think!

nothin smoother than an angus, get some dents in 'er then paint over those logos. It took me a while before I could bring myself to do it but it looks great without them.

I know its lame, lol. I just cleaned my room over spring break and I found those stickers. I have been an apple user since the age of two and have fond memories of playing dark castle in my underwear. Anyway, I just put the sticker on last week and I think it looks cool. It is a very smooth ride and quite a bit of fun. I like the way it looks nice and clean. Hopefully I will be able to limit the damage it incurs in the future to scratches rather than dents so I can repaint it.

ahhhh, yes I remember that hot air balloon game!!! That was a fun one. The other one I remember is a 2001 Space Oddessy based game where you had to get into the ship without touching the walls. Then there was shufflepuck which was infinitely superior on the mac as compared to the PC version. I remember the game specter, a tank kind of game, and then there was also prince of persia. Those games were fun!

Oh, and as far as the diamond bar wrap, it is somewhat difficult. You can see the spots around the bends where I didn't get it just right. The bends are just hard, the tops and drops are easy.
