    Yeah me too. I have a trip to Pittsburgh in September, my wife is going out of town one of those weeks. I've just been informed that Bonneville is next weekend and some of my buddies are planning a trip there. So I know how you feel Don! We'll work something out. Maybe late August or sometime in October?

    I vote for October but not the 18th or 19th...there is an inliner race that weekend at WHP...and August is too hot.

    I'm excited! Should be picking the car up Tuesday or Wednesday night. All the chrome is on including the bumpers. Just some small stuff left and should be done. Here is how the hood turned out.

    Anybody here a realtor or related to one? My house is going to need to be sold so the ex and I can pay off bills and move on. Looking for somebody I know or a friend of a friend kind of thing that the person would be willing to discount the commision so we can keep as much cash as possible. Its a nice house in Avondale worth between 190-200k.

    Its not so sad Gene. I can be free to be myself again. People change and want something different I guess. I see much more Mavericking in my future. No more being nagged about being in the garage doing things I enjoy.

    Ryan my son Haydon is a realtor and he said he'd be willing to reduce his commission to help you. He lives in Avondale as well and knows the area well. His number is 480-720-4213

    I don't think that Stephan allows that. But I think that you can post in the classifieds and provide a link here as well.
