Welcome!!! Motor City Vettes - a merry band of scurvy brigands and cutthroats but more fun than the "real" clubs. See Dr. Phil. He may know of a car that is almost legal to drive on the street without getting airborne!! Yes, again, Mike's car is a mean motorscooter!! That's '50's talk for .

Don't worry about not having a vette next week. I'm sure it will snow, and we'll be driving our winter beaters
