You got it- you know, it was kinda funny. We were kickin' it at lunch, relaxing, havin a nice meal - then I went over and topped off my tank and took off. Stopped in Mesquite for a quick pit, then I realized -one hour time difference. We hauled arse and made it just as the wedding started.

It happened after he race - some sort of c/s rules violation. There is a thread about it in Gen Automotive conv.

I'll go check it out. How you feeling today Steve? Get over that crud yet?

nubeee1 03-07-2008 08:30 AM

oh wow............I forgot all about the time line......Glad you made it though.!!

Shhhhh - don't tell Tom I was sick. He 'll think i infected him!

Yeah, I'm about over it. It was pretty much a two week deal. I'm actually going to pour a room addition floor today, so everything is back to normal. (or as close as it gets, anyway)

Oops! Glad to hear your feeling better. I've had a cold that just won't go away, going on 3 weeks now. Of course, it being -1 degrees here this morning probably isn't helping either. This is March right, not January??x(

67nukeford 03-07-2008 08:43 AM

Geez, 48! and I thought it sucked here....:-X10

Ain't it kinda funny how when the gripe about gas prices keeps coming up, you hear people talking about how they need to buy a new car that is more fuel efficient.
Don't you think you could buy a whole lotta gas for the cost of that car?

That's a really good point!!

I have been moving my shop this week. I rented an E-350 U-Haul with a 17ft box to carry the bigger stuff. I think it was getting about 7 mpg and I was making 50 mile round trips over the mountain. Gas prices around here are about $3.65 average right now. Sux big time.

Also the new place is slightly smaller....... anyone want to buy a shop full of construction tools? I have about had it with the whole thing. An now I have to put in lighting and 230v outlets...... Did I mention that my back is trashed?

True in many cases, but there are exceptions to any rule.

If a autobiz CEO comes along and tells the insider publication Automotive News that the full sized truck, and the 2 SUV's they make will be discontinued soon, what would that do to their resale value once that info becomes generally known?

Once a vehicle is discontinued, its resale value drops to nothing.

So, once the word is out that next year will be their last...the time to trade is NOW!
