Hope all you young studs and studdesses in your early years, 30s, 40s, 50s, get to see your very own Social Security checks and not just museum relics. I worked full time for 44 years and paid my dues, so don't blame me for drying up the cash cow.
I just have to learn to turn off the Auto Pilot when I get to the twisties.
Wife keeps telling me to slow down, HEQQ, I ain't even started the car yet. To everyone that talks about how they enjoy their 'fires, drive 'em if ya gottem, and remember, car nutz are special people, and my Crossfire friends are among the very best I have associated with.
God Bless America; Keep it the Land of the Free, 'cause it IS the HOME of the BRAVE.
