If I'd have known you were from Calgary I'd have given you a hard time first so nice work At some point I may have heckled you for wearing a Flames or Stamps jersey so I probably deserved it Are the winters any better there?

I started last fall but just couldn't go through with it. I am still on the fence. I think my car needs a few more mods before the BSMs can come off.
