Just watching Barrett-Jackson auction off the 2007 #2 Dodge Nascar racecar. Sold for $95,000.

I remembered about Pearl Harbor. I also remember 911 and think about the differences. For 911 I got to watch in horror and disbelief as it was happening. For Pearl Harbor many didn't know about it for hours and days later because of the difference in technology. It is sad to think about either and they were both attacks on US soil.
Mike congrats on the promotion.
I think that Prius needs to be tubbed, fat tires and wheels on the back, blower popping thru the hood. That would be a Prius I would drive as I shoot the bird to all those tree huggers who think everybody should have to drive one.
I hope everybody has had a good day.

It may look good. But fat tires and wheels on the back of a FWD Prius isn't going to do anything for actual performance. In fact, the larger contact patch between the tires and the road may actually hurt it's performance. And a slower Prius is likely to look like the one Chibi Mike posted.

This is post number 900. Woohoo! Who would have ever thought that a mopar guy could find so much to talk about on a Monte Carlo site.
I'm home today with the girls. Susan has school again tonight. I can't wait til she is done in May. It will be a few more weeks until the baby is old enough for daycare then I will be back to a five day workweek. Thank goodness for vacation time and FMLA. I get three weeks paid vacation every year plus 3 personal days and 6 sick days. I have to work five more years and I will get a fourth week of vacation time. That will be really good as the girls age so that we can do family vacations.

My Prius would be rear wheel drive, and its blown small block Chevy would move those big tires and wheels. LOL.
