    Anybody in Vegas?

    :dancing:
    When are you going I love Vegas, I lived in Vegas, I have 2 sisters living in Vegas. I’ll check my Vegas phone book for Auto Recycling Centers & try and get back with you with locations. Do you need anyone to split the cost of gas? Ha, ha, ha.

    I will be going to Vegas in April 4th - 8th. My wife and I are going to get remarried ( TEN yr) So I don't need to be taking anybody else with me, our kids will be staying home as well. But I'll take the Auto Recyclers #'s.

    They had a movie called " Leaving Las Vegas" and from what I heard , that's what everyone is doing! Save your money! It's not what it's all made up to be!

    Dave,
    I just got back from Reno, and I made a offer on a home there, it's a buyers market for sure!

    Thanks, Jay. I'll have to give a look see. I live a hour northwest of Boise. I have found several mavs/comets locally that the owners want to much for them or dont want to see them go. There is a junkyard in Caldwell, that stacks cars on top of each other and they have 5 mavs and one comet. All the mavs are on the bottoms of the stacks and the comet is on the top of two other ford cars, so that tells me Comets are better then Mavs. Thanks for all the help guys.

    Trip to Vegas is still on. Just very limited to what I can do, stinkin' economy. Shelby Museum is still part of my plans. Just cant gamble as much as I planned.
