I guess we now know where the A-Team got the work done on their custom van. With the red spoiler on the roof. Considering the amount of automatic weapons fire that van was subjected to each week, I'm guessing these guys have Bondo delivered by the pallet-load... It's...
This Week in Paid Content Sept. 19-25
