    I hope each and every one of you has a safe and uneventful trip, and that your weekend is perfect.

    But, sometimes, these old cars give us grief. Sometimes when we're dozens (or hundreds) of miles from our tools or friends.

    Write this number down and tuck it in your wallet: (317) 514-2232. I don't work on Friday or Saturday, and will be out at the show both days. If something ****py happens, give me a call (that's my cell).

    Hopefully, nobody has the first hint of anything other than perfect, but if you do- I'll give you any help that I can.

    Brian

    Wow, that's a really stand up thing to do. Hopefully you don't have to do a damn thing.

    Thanks

    WOW! Thought this was gonna be a word of advice regarding all the road construction or something. Instead, a stranger has wrapped his arm around someone potentially in need.

    VERY COOL!

  6. Dude, when you see my truck this weekend, come over for a beer so I can shake your hand!

    The world needs more people like you.

    Just a note to this. They will be closing the I 465 southbound exit ramp today may already be closed to the Crawfordsville RD and Speedway, this is the exit you wuold be taking if coming south on 465 and wanting to exit to the Host Hotel Reg or to the show at ORP. If you get off at the 38st. exit and go to your right and follow it around to 136 or Crawfordsville Rd, about a mile turn left at that light and it will be Crawfordsville RD it will take you back to the Host Hotel, 38st. exit is before the Speedway exit.

    I won't be attending the event but, just wanted to say, great at***udes like yours, Brian, are what makes the HAMB the wonderful place it is. You've got a real sense of community and spirit of service. Hope no one needs to call you but, it's a real stand-up thing to offer up your help......Don.:)

    That's really going to **** for Road Rockets in a few weeks, too! Everyone be careful out on the west side on 465- it's a friggin' mess.

    BTW- I'll post it again early that week, but the same deal applies for anyone coming to Road Rockets- write down the number, and call if you need me.

    Brian, It sure was nice meeting you and your little girl, I am glad I didnt need your services this time. I hope your daughter enjoys the GGs mug, By the way you did not collect on the beer I owe you. I will be sure to pay up the next time. Larry :)
