Zambroski Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Shit! I’d do it! I think it’s be a cool experience. Now the whole partnering up thing? Nope. Could you imagine being thrown in a vehicle with me for days? I’d drive a mother fucker to suicide inside of 10 hours. Less if I really didn’t like them. “Suicide”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
