Sorry for all the e-mails, it is not me.  I have updated my password--again!  Thank you to all of you who have called and asked if I need the help.  It is gratifying to have so many call and check up on me.   Joe-JDC

Thanks for the notification, Joe, I was wondering about that email.  I figured it couldn't have been legitimate...

I do have a niece, so just send your money to me.  Plus, I do have a garage, but my wife doesn't know about it, so don't ask her. I'm sure Felony will be first in line.

When my kids heard "Mario Andretti would've sure been proud, at the way I was movin' when I passed that crowd...", they said "Who's Mario Andretti?"   :'( :'(  I felt I'd failed as a father...

It is a sad world at times .  what will it be like in 20 years ?  By the way , what do you guys think of having some cut outs on the exhaust , when these goons pull up beside you at gas pumps playing their sound systems , not music , about 150 decibels , and open the cut outs , electric of coarse , just to let them hear a little something different ?

Funny you should mention that! ;D.  I've done it a few times.  It's not too bad when the car's idling, but when I rev the engine it definitely gets loud.  I usually get a bunch of dirty looks, so I just smile and wave, then do a burnout when I leave.

Disappointed that I hadn't even heard of that song, and I'm a CD fan. The only thing that came to mind was where Jason played on The Waltons.  ::)

Uneasy Rider by Charlie Daniels. 

You need to listen to it.
