I always look forward to your posts every couple weeks, thanks for being a great member here........

Ah, you're welcome, bud. I try....

And, um, trying to get the Pirates game on TV? You know they played that NIGHT, right, not during the afternoon? So ... what WERE you doing? Should I be asking what her name is?

And seen my M/C & Chevelle. Then we could have gone to dinner. Maybe next time your in the area. Hope all goes well with your next trip. I went thru 2 cups of coffee reading & watching this. NICE...

LOL! Hope those 2 cups were delicious ... and that you enjoyed the pics!

I've NO idea why you didn't know about it either ... I posted about it on every forum we're both on, including this one. In fact, I posted the thread MONTHS in advance.... Here is the thread:
https://montecarloforum.com/forum/me...-us-%2A-26837/

It would've been cool to meet you, but I have family in the area, so I would've stayed with them anyway, as I did. I stayed with my cousin who hosted the swimming party that Justin stopped by....

Cort, that is awesome man, how many dash plaques do you have? I've always wanted to make a thread on dash plaques. I wish you all the best with the upcoming surgery. It won't be long until we meet again, maybe, maybe.... in TN next year at the 2012 Monte Nats.....

Cort, by the way, I added another Monte to the family! I got me a 99 Z34 with 139k miles on it. I won it on e-bay, it's gonna be a winter ride/2nd car for now!
