[lil_red_rex]

i go to a technical high school in milford ct....its called platt tech high school...i learned all my basics and a few "tricks" its been a good experience for me so now i can restore hondas all day long and make some money on the side if i find some people who want work done.....all n all...i do all my own work from 2.5 years of school training^_^
