Re: Removed by Author

Jeff and I talked about doing this years ago. My idea was to scan all the kart test articles and put in a nice folder so you could go to YXZ kart and look up the kart test that had colors, options, caster, camber, etc..... We decided not to as it was much to much work running all the info down. :|

Now I think every box is treated like the suitcase commercial with the gorilla in the cage. :x Now when I ship I use a box with wadded up...
