MAZMART in atl

[calimus@techography.net (Calimus)]

This almost makes me want to drive the 45min to this guy's place and ask him
if he has any cheap biggots for sale.  More specificly those in the 40-50
year old range with pony tails.

Seriously, thanks for the post, I have a friend who owns a mazda and was
just told about this place today.  I'll make sure he get's this post.
