    Drewj standup seller

    I purchased a turbo from him and had great communication on shipping, tracking #. He even added insurance (that I didn't think to ask for). I am very lucky he did as the post office tried to deliver it when no one was home so they took it back to their building. It hasn't been seen...

I am wondering if this is refering methanol or alcohol? If meth then I dont need anything but if I need to get...
