Is it just me, or have a lot of the discussions on this site become pissing and moaning about how bad things are or how we're always getting screwed by somebody, some vendor, or some charity? Not much to respond to anymore! What happened to car talk? |

Haven't heard from 31tudor (Eric) since he spent a couple days at Don's and hopefully made it home to his Bride & 11 kids for Mother's Day! Maybe the combination was too much for him. LOL |

Forgot all about them until I sat down at my desk this morning and heard something off in the distance. It's warm enough this morning so I opened the window next to me to listen to the music. I love that sound! Pomona Raceway is only about a mile away |
