I won't be able to go. Dave (boss) needs me at the shop, we're booked solid. Katie is taking the car up.
I understand... the worst part of that is... you know you wont be able to focus on any work, while its up there....lolQuote:

Oh, I knew that. I KNOW she can handle it. Back when it was a head/cam car I thought we were goners when a lady merged into our lane and we ended up with two wheels in the gravel and started to slide @ 75 MPH on the highway. I had a vision of the slide continuing, tires grabbing, and a shot across four lanes (NJ Interstate). She just corrected, flipped the woman the bird, and sped ahead. It was classic.Quote:
