The MEVI looks so good, I'd rather hang it up on my wall instead of installing it on the car.

Pff, no way. It'd be too heavy. You need a 00VI. It's plastic instead of metal.

At first, I giggled at this comment.

Then I thought about it and realized I wouldn't be surprised if Japanese junkyards DID carry their items in sealed OEM Nissan plastic bags, down to the minor hardware...

The militia would be out number by the noobs, and with todays technology the noobs are faster, and they can be rebuild, they have the technology. . . but with that great power should have came great responcibility, but instead a rash of wild untamed noobs we set loose. Scurring in the street, dweeling in an thread that still had a pulse. . .
