Message	They wouldn't even stand up to the water coming out of the high pressure nozzle attachment on my garden hose! ...and it's really over if I take them up to Thunderhill and get some track time out of them. They were so crappy that the paint would've chipped if I hit a large bug at high speeds. I just want them done right so I can enjoy them.
