Eagle Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I took a day off today. Management requested it. So I went and picked up the Dakota from Fine Line auto. Mowed over a few mailboxes the last snow storm at 0300 in the morning. They did a fine job . My wife want's to go to Michale's for yarn. So,..............a little bit later and a cart full of stuff......You could build one like it for about 15 bucks and 2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
