    Aaron is a class act. Hung out with him a few years ago at the hot rod show at PPIR race way outside of Colorado Springs. Ended up drinking all of his beer

      @deplorablebristolian 2 года назад

      Edd China is not anywhere near or close to Aaron on the skills and knowledge front. In my opinion he's an idiot and his name should not be used in the same sentence as Aaron's.
