Jeth 0 #26 October 10, 2006 QuoteIt looks better without the tie dye, but I don't like the blue with the purple. I wouldn't buy it used because of the color as it is now. Personal preference is one thing, but if you intend to resell it, go more neutral. Ok, so then what should I replace the blue with?"At 13,000 feet nothing else matters." PFRX!!!!!
