    I just polish my lip and that shit took about 8hrs (I guess I'm just slow as hell), so I wouldn't do a wheel like that LOL.

    it can be done, Kashime. Takes a looong time.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.
