Where did they dig up the headlight height and bumper height violation, on
a STOCK car???

I would tend to agree.. but...

We all knew you were going to try it, we all knew you were going to do it
that day, but who of us knew WHERE and at WHAT TIME?  I would speculate if
you've been going to the same place each time, some local boy recognized
your car (it's kinda hard to miss you know) and phoned it in that "Speed
demon about to do it again!!"  I don't think anyone here did it, but I
could be wrong.

Make sure you check it over, no telling what they might have done to it
while it was in their impound lot.  Check under the seats and in the door
panels too.  We wouldn't want you to end up in jail again for possession of
some unknown substance.  "Gee officer, I just picked it up from the impound
lot."  (not that I don't trust police,  right Steve?)

Personally, I'm still not laughing, but I 'spose I will as soon as I meet
everyone in Vegas.  You ARE going now aren't you?

Why take a chance on having your fun spoiled again?  Don't tell us when,
just do it.  And make the video tape too.

>Go all the way and have fun, or die trying!

Well, some of us thought you did.  'Course, I'm beginning to think there's
a picture of me next to the word Gullible in the dictionary.

Whatever,
