a little, inconspicuous dirt trail behind the dumpster that leads directly

I've slowly been accumulating parts for my Clem build, but with all of this
chatter I realized I needed to get the last few things ready!

When I was recovering from my crash, I called RBW to get a quote and Keven

And he's like that with everyone!
