ash,

I would love to come out and shoot the breeze with you...I am sure we have a lot of good stories to tell.
That metro is not mine but yes that is where the pic is from.

Were you there?

I am heading to Dallas in October to go to the good guys show at texas motor speedway.

If you look at the pic, straight up from the rear-view mirror, that small green building was where I was parked in front of! Small world.
In fact, looking at the pic,it looks about the time me an' a buddy were tring to talk our way outta a race with a guy in a soupped -up Hyundai :roll:
Have a good time in Oct!

Awesome story, I had one of those 993cc monsters myself. That car was tough as nails and I averaged 47 mpg with my lead food (back then). In 1997 a couple of buddies and I (and a cooler of adult berverages) took a 430 mile road trip averaged 57 mpg!!! and total cost of gas was $8.02. Now those were the good ol' days. LOL
I too had my car at or over the 100mph barrier only too a 70 mile straight away and 1 VERY long down hill.
