Sorry for me? WTF?<br>
<br>
-I'm- the one with a Pantera -and- a 1971 Mach I, spare Clevelands
in a barn and a guy who's offered to have me drive -his- Pantera in
the SSCC in September.<br>
<br>
If you want to feel sorry for someone, let's pick on ... oh....
Steve... because he's Irish and it's pas St. Patrick's day and the
beer's all gone.<br>
<br>
:)<br>
<br>
No, don't feel sorry for me, I'll get there, slowly, but I'll get
there. Like we've said, family and work come first.<br>
<br>
At least I'm not Bob Levitt who actually solicited the DeTomaso
email forum for $40,000 in sponsorship money to run the Gumball
again. I can make a better deal by just asking for a couple grand
in the name of Autism Awareness. sheesh.<br>
<br>
So when do you leave? Or have you left? Gotta plan the extraction
for when you're gone. :)<br>

Well it's too bad I sold my boat then isn't it?<br>
Ah... if'n I could only afford it. I'd have to sell mine
-and- the <br>
Mach I, plus who knows what else. Sheeeet, it took me
nearly three <br>
years to afford a set of shocks. :)<br>
<br>
Don't talk to me about tires yet.<br>
