Wow, these rides are lookin awesome!!! If at all possible, for those of us who have to run on no-speed dial-up, could we keep the pics from bein huge (not a deal yet) and replies to cool rides please omit the pic of their ride..? I know, it sux, (and I ain't a mod or the original poster) but where I live, unless I pay $100/mo, I can't get h/s dial-up and so much is just unloadable.
