I know I'm late to this but... The mother of a friend had a brain tumor removed in 1984 and she's still doing just fine today- I wish you the same...
Yes Arby's and McDonalds switched places in the mid 80's. The place that's Arby's now, used to be one of the original "real" 50's McDonalds with...

We both survived the 100 mile kick-off cruise yesterday, so I'll be there: [IMG]
That really sucks but I'm glad you're okay. I'd bet anything it was text/Ipod related. Idiots.

It looks like a 1959 Ford. The ring is held on with a plastic retainer. Push the whole thing in with your hand in the middle of the wheel and...
Wow, that's cool!
