My Old Gf thought it was the dumbest thing and the biggest waste of time and money. She was always raggin on me to save my money for a rainy day.. On them rainy days, thats when I'm fixing what a broke the day before..lol.. Hense the EX girlfriend part..lol.. My parents think its totally cool, and my dad always has me pull out the trucks to show people that come over to visit.When I rip around in the yard, all the neighbors come over and watch, so its all good. My parents really would rather see my more into Flying than what I have been lately, but know I really enjoy this, so they are all for it.
