ahhh, no sympathy from me on the funds Powell. When I was in school I drove a worn out 10-year old Nissan for three years. I also worked full time as a welder/pipe fitter in the hot sun. My parents didn't have money, Mom still shovels slop at our former HS cafeteria.

But, it was all worth it looking back now

Dude your mom is the sweetest lady ever, and if you ask anyone that went to friendswood they would say the same. It does not matter how much money you have as long as you are happy.

I've been around F-Wood and from what I know Tony's mom was the coolest lady at the school.. That says alot in my book.

Also Chris sorry about not helping the other day man I was so sick I passed out when playing halo.

Yep, my Mom is very popular. Funny how she remembers everyone's names too, even after a few years. She used to try and set me up with every "nice" band geek girl when I was at f-wood. YUCK! lol. I kept a steady diet of cheerleaders and drill team girls instead

Powell and I were in line at lunch talking about racing and your mom over heard us and asked if we knew her son tony, "he has a blue trans Am called the cannable." we were like NFW. But lets not lie about the Cheerleaders, did you mean Masscot!!! J/K. Peace and Love to Spring!
