Sounds like some of the same experiences that I have had before.  People

have told me that they saw me buzzing down the road when the car was at home

nussled in bed while vissions of Ferraries and Corvettes danced in its head.

Uh, Er Well any way.  I have been told the car has gold BBS wheels and

Webbers.  The guy at the car wash told me that the guy wanted to put a turbo

big block in it.!!.  Man I wish the next time some one sees this car they

would get me the plate.  I have a friend that could run the plate for an

address.  And all this in a town of only 80K.  How do you never see some one

like that at a show or any thing.
