RE: [DML] Re: MONSTER GARAGE SUCKS!!!!!

Rich, we knew you guys could have done it if only you had all the tools, 
time and man power.
Jesse shorted you guys of a valuable resource (Rick), made you start over 
without giving
more time, he didn't spend time in the shop to help or approve what was 
going on and
was generally not supportive at all...until the last few housr that he 
decided to get involved.
There wasn't even enough time for the glue to dry!
I am sure if you guys did it again having all the proper tools, supplies, 
parts and planning
you could make a tank hover.
Just giving you some support.
