I get that feeling about the Mustang sometimes. But I've never had it on the Vette. I'm going to keep it for as long as either my wallet, or my lifespan, will allow.

I'll just get frustrated when somethings wrong but it always passes as soon as I have it fixed and take it for a spin. :D

Hiyosilver, check out the southeast section. A bunch of us try to get together at least once a month. We may go for a cruise through the backroads or just get together at Hooters :D to shoot the bull and have some fun. Our next one is the 16th at the Hooters in Norfolk on Military Highway. Hope you can get out to join us.

Hey Ron, you all should export some of those Hooter's girls up here, the Toronto area guys have gone to 2 different ones now and we haven't been served by any angels like them yet. Dwayne will definately be down to see you all for sure now. :cheers:

Greg, if we exported these gals up there then that would mean we would have to go where it gets real, real, real cold and I don't think I could get all of these rat packers to go clear up there! :D You all are more than welcome to come down here though. The next Hooters stop that we are going to be making on the 16th has some really fine hooters... I mean wings! :D :D :D Come on down!
