    ^^^^Same here. I can appreciate hard work and art, no matter if I agree with the what it accomplish.

    My 8 year old daughter came up to me last night when I looked at the first picture in this thread and she said :)eek:) "Whaaaattt!! What was he thinking, he can't drive it like that!!"
    I thought it was funny how she could immediately see that there was something "wrong" with the picture.

    Anyway, good job, I can't wait to see more pictures.
