Doesn't Reed have a say in the matter?  Making him sit back there with GJ is just mean!

Good looking out, SA.  It doesn't matter to me, but if I'm going to get road head I don't think it really counts unless I'm driving.

I will probably come down Sunday like I did last year.  Now which one of you electrically inclined folks will help me with installing heated seats. I have the kit just been worried about taking the seats out and killing the cars electrical system. I am not mechanically inclined although I have taken the dash apart 5 times.

The seat heaters are pretty easy to do, I'm sure there will be several of us that would be willing to help you.

Hey Soup I really did not want to admit to you that I couldn't do it myself. Thanks all I would count down the days but then summer would be almost over.

I'll be attending again, hopefully with my new performance built motor  :cool:
I'll be glad to cook again if needed but if I'm in the coupe I won't be bringing the CampChef cooker.
would like to stay in the cabin again if that's possible.

Jimmy if you have the Hi-Po Coupe can you pick me up at the airport?  My regular ride committed to picking up the "pizza boy" I think....

The wife and I should be there.  I'll just be off crutches so I'm going to be kinda worthless.
Actually putting thoughts to words, I might not be able to drive as this one will be the hip on my clutch leg.  Im thinking Monica is going to have to drive the sky.
