Default RoadRebel strikes again--

As some of you may have noticed on a post I have waited for GM to make a c5 frame rail for over 10 weeks when I mentioned this in a post and no one in the country could find one but RoadRebel (Phil) knew a guy who had one, for god's sake even a network of GM dealers found none available and Phil knew a guy who had one--now the interesting part I ran down to my dealer too see if they needed the whole rail or wanted just the front part and they had just received one from GM that was laying with my other parts--lesson in this is next time I will get in touch with Phil the same day and not wait 10 damn weeks to start bitch'n---thanks again Phil for the 100th time I guess I am going to have to take you to Costa Rica and buy you a couple of hookers and case of rum--
