    My old boss constantly gave me shit about how slow I did my work! Asshole calls me into his office sits me down and says that I'm working slower than the other guys, I ask him to tell me how many call backs they have compared to me? Well it seems that they each have several call backs and I have none! So well duh, I explain to him that I do things right the first time and all of my customers are very happy! I ask the dumb ass if he'd rather have me do things quickly or do them right? Well gee then he gets the brilliant idea that if customers are happy then I'm providing great customer service and it makes him look good! End of discussion!!! Give me the "oddball!"

    I used to own Cody Parr’s “ Apache”built in 55ish. I have always had a fetish for altereds.

    I drag raced in the late 60's early 70's. I have owned five 32 Roadsters and one with a blower motor. Just give me a cool roadster with the wind blowing my hair and a nice long road and you are in another world!

    I've got too many life experiences to not consider the consequences.
    I'd happily tow them to meets and gatherings and cackle, but I'd not be able to run any of those at 10/tenths, which is the way they should be run if they still meet safety, which they almost certainly do not. Reality stinks sometimes.
