As you can somewhat tell, the word, well, name "FRED" is on the inside of the tranny. I just noticed it myself but, I believe it is there because he is NOTORIOUS for greasing, greasing, and well, greasing. We should be ok and he should have some fun this year, but thanks for the heads up.
While we discuss this stuff, let's keep our heads on straight. Open your eyes and look around you. Let's celebrate our common goal while accepting our differences. - Andy Baker [more]
