What is the best thing to use as a fuel tank for this set up. I was thinking a lawnmower gas tank. Any other suggestions?

All that gold is tacky as hell. The rims look good though, but the rest is just to much

I'm up for a ride from Sac to Bakersfield, if we can get the card to Sacramento.
I am in the Sacramento area but that is quite a haul for me to go to Portland. Is there anyone in between? Surely there must be.
I was just lookin at the bikes in the background, they looked like harleys to me.
Looked to me like a bunch of Harley ridin' knuckleheads tryin to show how big and bad they were by killin a poor XJ. Makes me kinda sick really.
Time so far... 0.128 secs
