where is this Pa.?

[JoMiFu]

No, actually it is on the New Jersey side of the Delaware River in Phillipsburg, NJ. It's right across the river from Easton PA.

[RichardSwayne]

Mmmm the American Mikado.

[JoMiFu]

Haha,

You mean Chinese?

They did do a good job of making her look more American though... now if they'd only give her an American tender.

@JoMiFu It is hard to believe I got that worked up over that just 2 years ago.

I really liked her this way in the all balck paint with no white wall drivers and blacked out running boards. Not that i don't like her current apperance, i just liked the all black look better. Great video!
