When do you deploy and return, I didn't notice you were in the military.
My son just did 4 years with the Marine Corp.
Thank you for your service.

Oh, how sweet!
My car was Rene' daily driver, ran 11.60's back then. She drove it everywhere.
The only time I drove it was a 1/4 mile at a time.
But how time changes.
