But seriously, get him off. lol j/j (maybe)
I still got that time this year, and I'm in the Top 5.. Did you notice that? LOL!!!

Oh and if you want to buy a fast Corvette let me know and I'll tell you where mine is at.

Seriously, we need to get together. PM me your number and we'll go have a beer or something.

Congrats on the sale. I'm sure that was hard to do, in many ways. You know what, me and Robert both had a black C5 coupe, and gave them up for various reasons. Must be some reason they are like "starter" vettes?

Maybe bring your bikes out to Bremerton, and show us your skillz! I bet you can go 10's with very little hassle from tech!

I realize I have no clue about your or her situation, so forgive me if I over-stepped, what I said was not meant to be hurtful, just hate seeing people suffer for things they probably could not have altered no matter what they did. I have talked more than one person out of killing themselves only to find them dead shortly after, hours, days weeks or months. I feel for you dude but don't let it run your life.
Your right, and no over stepping. She had tried to kill her self a few times over about the last year. Many had been trying to reach and and get her into treatment, I would have taken her, and offered many times, night or day. Still, the mother of my children, and known each other for 30 plus years. I would drive my car off a cliff if I could just talk to her one more time. Thanks for the kind words, and yep, life goes on.

Sorry dude, didn't know you guys had kids or had that kind of history. Hopefully she is not in pain or suffering any more and that will help ease some of your feelings about this.

I'm glad Cindy and I are back together and we are working hard on ourselves!
We're going to do the bike racing thing.......and we needed a reliable truck to tow them with. Not to mention my Ranger was hurting. This truck is reliable and will suit our needs. I will miss the Vette in some respects, but like you said Robert.........family and friends are much more important. I can always get another Vette, but you can't replace people. If you EVER need ANYTHING from me, you have my number and I EXPECT you to call.
Thanks Jon. glad you and Cindy are doing good, tell her hi. Check out what I found, yep TrailBlazer SS intake. You said maybe an intake, well here's the best one...
