damn it. you type this ****ing great story and im feeling like i really missed out heading up to the saints show.... all cause i was whining about a little rain (and yeah, the wagon HAS wipers and windows...) sorry for not rolling up, but was good to see you at gabe's party later that day.

yeah, gambino is a ruler and is livin the life.

i'll try to upgrade my current status of '***** afraid of the rain' a bit when we roll down to socal for the mooneeyes show...

good story.... I'd have taken the echo. what a boring story that would have been....

.....and there i make it to 580 and the altamont p*** its still rainin lightly so I put the wipers on slow speed and take my sweatshirt off cuz I got the heater on full blast as i roll threw livermore....

 

Only two cars I got registered are the '54 gl***top and the '53 F-100. I guess I'm out of my mind?

 

That about sums it up. Cool story, sorry to hear about your friend.

Here's a couple interior shots of the '54....sorry, don't have any of the Echo

Hey, is that a horn ****on on the brake pedal? Please tell me it's wired to the brake lights! Having "optional" brake lights would be awesome for police chases and speed traps.

 

I've always been proud to call Alex my brother, he inspires me when i feel like I've had enough to "Keep on Keepin' on". He is the genuine article.

 

Days like you had yesterday, make this story so much more understandable. Alex, go kick todays ***!!
