You're probably right, but it can't be any worse and for the price it might just be the ticket. Plus it should be a little tougher than the plastic tube.

One Last Drive

Took what will probably be my last summer drive in the Cabby. I leave for TX in just a couple days and the Cabby has to stay behind :(, but I will be back (with diploma in hand) in just a few short months. So here are some pics I snapped. Enjoy. http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp283/bbrown4point0...
