    I just was thinking about my Dad,if any of you regulars have read any of my threads ,you will know my pops is a retired auto body rebuilder. Dad has fixed thousands of cars in his 40 years in the trade . As a boy i wanted a pimped out car to drive because dad could do this , I always ended up buying a 200.00 car and fix it up to be the 3 dressed up as a 9. My pops favorite saying to me as a kid was :" 3 rd class driving is better than 1 st class walking ". my thought for the day cheers James p.s POPS YOUR THE GREATEST, AND I LOVE YOU
