Be advised,
when gkull says ten minutes away.....it has nothing to do with how close he lives to the Nugget......As fast as he drives....he could easily be 50 miles away. :D :seeya Cappy

8T1-7T9 BIONIC VETTE - Hawaii Smart asses! It's a straight shot down the highway and it's posted 100 mph I think! I can't remember where the speed signs are.

When I was younger there were no speed limits in Nevada. So I should be Grandfathered in.

You'll like the Nugget. Be sure to bring lots of money though (not for gambling, for the Summit store that's only a few minutes from there:)).

gkull, the speed limit signs are there, I've seen `em, honest! Probably because I was driving the wife's car at the time :)

OK gkull,

I can't believe your vette is green, so is mine. Not quite the same shade but very close. I have no idea what the code for the paint is but it won't be on there much longer anyway, the original color was 52 Yellow, and that is what I am going back to as soon as I complete the tear down. Should have some free time Sat afternoon maybe we can get together. Will email you later.

Being on that island maybe he can't use any speed like us mainlander's can!! :lol: :lol:
