Steel, Leather and Gasoline
Steel, Leather and Gasoline: a combination that can make powerful men weak, weak men feel strong and virtually all men affected. Inauspicious in their origins, yet in their final forms, they are things of wonder, works of art. The blending of these disparate components is nowhere...
