    If you're referring to me, I am keeping a close eye on the GB. If it lasts long enough for me to get a paycheck or two I may join. Right now it would not be wise for me to spend the money unfortunately. I should be putting the money towards rotors/pads but now that it's cold out I don't feel like doing any work on my truck lol.

    I was referring to you, I totally understand the financial bit though. I've been saving since this spring when I helped Ben do his, and finally decided the time was right. I think safety comes first too lol, brakes are much wiser

    I would also argue poor stock lighting is a safety concern. But i'll see. My brakes aren't that bad, but they do need to be replaced. I should actually take a look to see how much pad is left but I've been unmotivated to do anything since we started to get below freezing.

    Yeah yeah yeah, I know. Not that cold. I'm just not motivated to do anything in the winter. Probably why I seem to always gain 15 pounds during it haha.

    Buy some warm snow gear and a snowmachine. Then give the snowmachine to me and it will get me through the winter while you stay warm.

    Best advice you could get though, having toys to play with in the winter is hugely beneficial to keeping your sanity. The real depressed folks usually add to it by sitting inside for 7 months.

    Most of you guys know I'll be there in January coming from Georgia. Only been here for about 6 months. Grew up in Colorado so I'll at least be used to the snow.
