    Just got home from droping off my Mercury at the RCX show. Parked over by Larry Wood,the Hotwheel designer. Looks like it will be a fun show.....There's even a really cool slotcar set-up.

    The boss let me off early so I could get it in the building. I had to get in before all the booth and racetracks got set up.

    That's the second encounter I have had with George. Last time was at the GNRS,2007 when he was being followed around by a camera crew and he stopped and ran his hand down the sail panel of my Merc and said "this has nice lines". I called slddnmatt and told him "George Barris just said he likes your work!".
