    This is how I got the story about Ryan. He had his Comet in the parking lot of Denny's, putting on his new chrome traction bars. Everyone was just hanging out & watching him work. Work fasinates me, I could watch it for hours.....LOL Anyway, while he was under the car installing the bars. A police car pulls up on the street, and another police car pulls into the Denny's parking lot. The two cops go around behind the building. Everyone is just hanging out talking. Ryan finishes the install. Time for him to move the Comet off of the curb. Drives it off the curb & hits the accelerator. Burns rubber in a big 360 degree circle. Everyone is yelling & waving there arms. They want him to stop. He thinks they want more. So, he hits the gas again. Another big blast of smoking rubber emits from under the car. He then stops & parks. The manager of Denny's comes out & she isn't happy at the black marks in the parking lot. Gives him an ear full. Then everyone busts out laughing. He askes what's so funny. Everyone tells him to look to his right. There are two police cars next to where he just smoked his tires. He never knew they were there. He never seen them pull up. He was busy under the Comet. He is just lucky the cops were busy doing a call. Or I'm sure he would've had a big dollar ticket. Or even jail time. Being from Canada & all, eh... I just wish someone would've gotten it on video. Now, that was funny!!!!!
    Thanks Ryan!!!! Looking forward to next year.....

    Great pictures, love seeing them. I really love the rolling on the road pictures. There's nothing like seeing a bunch of Mavericks and Comets cruising one right after the other down the highway.:thumbs2::drive::chirp:
