I used to like that TE50, until he did the airbrushing. Like 51RTE said, he won a comp run by a local radio station to get some upgrades through FIST and liked them so much he spent a small fortune getting more done. He should have spent some of his money on spelling lessons though. Reading his comment is painful.

As for the Star Wars special, WTF!! Looks like he's just painted anything from the interior he could just pop out. The $100k in 7 years comment must include fuel, servicing, etc as I can't see that much work done.
