    Hit a milestone yesterday on my project. Took the Sprint on its first drive since 1989 after working on it since 10/08. Just around the neighborhood with open headers. Going for exhaust next week and then it'll get some fun rides. :drive::dance:

    Isn't it great when a plan comes together! Congratulations on the accomplishment! I guess we will be seeing you at Silver Springs this January, huh!

    Thanks. Yes, we like it here. Especially now that the hot and humid weather is over. (We think.)

    Wife and I grew up in Port Huron across the river from Sarnia. We spend 2-3 weeks every year back "home" and enjoy your nice Summer weather for a while.

    Port Huron. Crossed there to pick up my Mav. Cant remember the name of the little town. Capac maybe??? Rings a bell. Nice little town not far from the border.
    My buddy and his wife moved to Fayettville. The Summers damn near killed him. LOL. He was happy to get up here for a holiday in the Summer. He moved back here after 5 years but loved NC.
