The thought of sitting in one for 8 hrs with a gunbelt and vest on doesnt do my back any good I gotta tell ya. After a 2 hr road trip in mine I'm ready for a break.
As for the 73 there is still about 15-20 boxes left for the pool. I just called today to get my numbers and they havent sold them all yet. So ante up $150 and you to can have a chance to win it. I'll even volunteer to keep an eye on it till you get up here. I promise. They'll probably take plastic over the phone. I should start a thread here.

Imagine how upset you'd be is a forum member won instead of you and it was you who suggested they buy a ticket.

He pulled me over and walked up and asked me if I knew what I'd done wrong. I said, "I kinda hit the gas a bit hard through that intersection" and he's like, "no, not that. I used to have a '78 Vette also, so I undertand that. Your brights are on. Nice car......have a good night."

Wow, that's awesome. I usually get pulled over by cops that don't know much except that it's a Vette.
