    I left for the military about half a year ago and left the Mav. behind. I came in as special operations and blew out my knee (again) so they had no use for me and I received an honorable discharge. But, Heres the kicker, they payed me a beautiful severance check/disability/VA benefits etc... So I can actually get back on the maverick grind again! I'd much rather be in the service but there's an upside to nearly everything. Glad to be back!

    A thank you to all that serve to keep our country free, so that we can have the things that we sometimes take for granted, like our car hobby.
