My compliments to Shawn dbtk2 also for wisdom and communication skills beyond his years.

.........and as a reward to honor him.........he shall have my 15 year old daughter Chynna for an evening of entertainment. She'* what all the boys call a Hottie.

From where I live I think that'* a pretty safe offer.

I thought it was really funny at MGM when your mom was beating on the sunroof of your old turbo GP saying I bought you into this world, and I can take you out!!", Here this whole time I thought you were some older guy with two cars, as implied in "your" sig
I didn't even know that was you. I saw the car and everything, but didn't think much of it, there are plenty of Bonneville owners that aren't members here. My mom was pretty pissed at me because I ran over her foot, because she wasn't paying attention and walked into the side of the car while it was moving (at about 1/4mph). It was kind of both of our fault, because neither of us were really paying much attention...that is why she was saying that. And she was beating on the sunroof because it doesn't stay closed. At about 75mph the front end lifts up a little and it leaks air really bad when it does that, so between every run we would have to push it down.

So how did YOU do at MGM?

That is awesome, I wish that my parrents were into cars... my dad only knows that he has a superchager in his car because I told him, and my mom doesn't even know how to engage the 4x4 in her explorer, and didn't know that she had a leaf-spring on her explorer... Oh well :(

Congratulations on the times too!!

Yeah, laugh it up.... haha no, I'm starting to try and teach my dad some stuff about cars, and he seems semi interested, so this may be a good thing if he starts working on the GTP with me.
