    How this for thrashing,
    I just rejoined the club after about a 10 year hiatus. I really wanted to take my car to the show. After last weekend I am now trying to fix a hole in the gas tank, the heater core just blew and my better half says the kids can't ride in the Grabber until updated seat belts are installed! If it weren't for bad luck Maverick owners would have no luck at all! Whether the car is there or not I WILL!! Can't wait to see all of the cars!!!!

    Well, if the Grabber can't make it, I guess you'll have to do. We look forward to seeing the Gr...I mean you at the show. :29:

    The heater hoses can be coupled together (route around the core). A fuel cell would be easy enough to install. The seats belts even easier!

    C'mon. You're sounding like me! Ha!

    Hope to see you AND the Grabber there with the family.

    Take that back! If you're not going, neither am I!

    (okay, I 'might').

    Sure hope you can make it. You were on my "Must Meet" list (which, btw, you now know you're not on my "Sh*t list of Ignored's" ;) ).

    Dan...you gotta do like me. Ya gotta take the time to enjoy a few things in your life. I could very easily let work own me too but I refuse. I fully expect to see you back at Round-Up! :yup: Let them know who the Boss REALLY is!
