weight reduction 101

[txarkitekt]

Depends on how far you want to go. Seats, A/C, windows (use plexi-glass), etc.... I would start by telling Tyler's mom to get out, that weight loss will gain you close to a full second!!

This may be true. Jay is SO PATHETIC that he needs to keep my mom around.

Tyler the mustached pedofile........

Exactly.

weight reduction + full size truck =
