Default Not Playing Fair

Mark told me this evening that he "needs" to have Ellis do something to the Trans Am before the next race or .......................... he will race my Daytona.
Hey, that's my car and he's supposed to leave it alone! (except for putting gas in it etc. )

Sounds legit to me.........but if you don't believe him, he can always just bring the yellow-jacket and break it in right.

Is he planning on trailering it? This could reveal some unexpected insights into his sinister plans

I think he should trailer the Saturn to the track. I'll bet it's consistent and it might get the other car to red light since it would get to leave a LOT earlier than any other car there!

I would actually be kind of curious to see what that Daytona could really do. Sorry, Linda, I know I am not helping any.

I have a feeling that car is going to make a pass down the track one way or the other. And if thats the case, I think you should be the one to make it.

You will be happy to know dear that Ellis & I were at it late last night & cleared his schedule out so that he has time to work on the TA tonight. Provided Don will let us back in his shop......we drank most of the Mikes that I took over there.

So with any luck, we'll get the new converter in the red car tonight, and your sweet virgin Daytona will not get de-flowered. YET!

Linda, I think you should run Mark at the track in the Dodge. I think you can take him!

If that car goes to the track then Mark will start modding it. Then before long I will have to get another car to drive to work!

Just because it has the custom paint with decals that say Daytona & Hemi on it, has the custom interior & wheels, perf exhaust, has a numbered badge showing it is xxxx out of 4000 made, you think it's something other than "just a charger"? What are you thinking Linda?
