I'll second that! Marc and I both found him completely independently of each other, shortly after he opened his shop in Reseda, and I wouldn't buy my tires anywhere else now.

In fact, it was Armando who told me Marc's last name for the first time. Seems kinda' logical, now.....

Went over to see Armando at AA tire (the worlds best tire dealer) and of course I had one coming apart. So she got two new fronts. Just what I needed on a scramble day. Seems life is that way.
BTW, I'm only getting about 40-45k on a set of fronts. Is that jiving with the rest of y'all?
On a more fun note, I'm picking up Nancys '61 on Monday. It looks awesome.

Hey Sean. Did you ever get your spring adventure wrapped up on the Ex?



Give 'em hell Steve.

I am expecting a slick 60's reveal barbeque in Honor of Nancy's big day!

Now THAT is a good idea.
Will inform.
I'm still waiting for someone to bust me on the 6.8 instead of 6.4.
Pre coffee moronosphere.

Nancy just reminded me we have a wedding in June we are throwing, so I'm banished from hosting parties till after.
And as Bill says, "she must be obeyed".

Where is ND when you need him? SO how about someone else hosting a Park Barbeque for the reveal? Can she complain about that?

You make the next flight, but your luggage gets to play catch-up, thanks to the ramp-ape at the hub....

Pop,

Flying out of a small market/airport like Fort Wayne...connections are a way of life.

I can get everywhere I want with no connection as long as it is Chicago or Dallas (American or United) and Detroit, Atlanta or Minneapolis (Delta)...if I want to get anywhere other than those 5 cities...a connection is in my flight plan!

Joe.
