Re: mario's story (bewarned its long)
what start at a cinq then heard bigger lol
yeah you would think but i have never had as much fun in a car (while being clothed) that i do when throwing a cinq around on twisty country roads lol although the prelude was great on gravel roads but the body kit was to expensive to replace if it all went wrong
