So Extreme it's Metal
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I always thought science was kind of gay, in fact I used to beat up the science nerd kids in school. But that was before I found out Science could be taken TO THE EXTREME. Thanks to this book, my car now shoots flames, my dirtbike is rocket powered, and I blew up my jerkbag step dad's garage. Ha, take that, Steve. You're not my old man.
