    Ha! Give yourself a break Walstib..... one of our competitors ( yours and mine ) forgot to vent his MC 307 ( I think ) and sucked it in. I'll PM you who it was... 53,000 miles on the hub and it's junk. I didn't know stainless would twist like that! Looks like a pretzel looking in thru the skin.

    It also bent in half as the barrel is the frame so the nose is pointing at the moon.

    He's having a real bad day from his stupid mistake bud.....

    That 'stupid' mistake ain't so stupid when you factor in the costs involved with driving 80 (roundtrip) miles out of route. I'd take that 52 fine any day.

    Doesn't even count on your CSA so I wouldn't sweat it much. Isn't $50 chump change for you anyways?

    Overweight tickets are the only thing my company will fire you for. They would rather have u drive the miles to the closest cat scale
    than get the scalehouse ticket
