It was pretty cool until I heard a clanking and thunking. I immediately pulled into the neighbors driveway and turned around. Still haven't...
OK, thanks.
Thanks, I'll try that. Did I post the first drive video? I thought I did but now I can't find it.' See if either of these work. The share one...
