hey johnny. no not in front of your place. i wouldn't want to have other people that i dont' know coming to my place so i respect that. no one will know where you live. we may meet in a parking lot a couple blocks away. i'll find one during my 5 hours of driving around the city. LOL

yeah, i was hoping that the bumper would be alright. it's hard to work on the front end without leaning eh?
