I also have fond memories of the Steel Pier in AC many years ago. Those memories will and have lasted forever. Those great groups in the 60's (that was music). Enjoy your new Vette, don't be a stranger here and keep in touch with your next trip/adventure.

ET,
Well first off, thank you for your comment on my new ride. You made OK for me to express my thoughts without any BS. This dream has made me a happy guy here at the Jersey Shore.

second, I see that you were on the C5 GM team. Well, all I can say is "Damm great job!"

CPO Rob

Congratulations, Rob!
I was especially touched by your conversation with your Dad! Surely he's looking down and smiling at and with you.

Trust me...you made your Dad proud...not just for the car...but because you took the time to tell him about your success (however you define it)...

Congrats brother!!!
