    I'll get some turtle pictures at some point. Had to submit it into an art show so it's gone for the time being.

    Also Gabe that's sweet! The turtle is stainless so I can't weld it to the hood sadly lol, but I can strap it!

    besides the deviant connotations above, put a stud on to the turtle and put that in a hole on your hood.

    and yes,... that was on purpose

    A few big school projects due this week, but I'll be working on the finishing touches this Friday, weekend, and Monday. This time during the school year is rough... Especially since the weather is so nice, all I want to do is go running and biking, and drive with the windows down, not to mention work on the bumper. I hate being shut in a classroom...
