Not only is his car cool -- he's a pretty good guy himself. He can take a joke and dish one out too.
On Sunday after OUSCI (since I spent the night in the "pits" there at Spring Mountain) - I walked over to where Larry was working on his car. He had come all the way out from the midwest if I remember… and his car wasn't acting healthy - and he planned to continue on to Scottsdale GoodGuys for the Auto X shootout.
Now here he is - with a couple buddies - in the middle of a large parking lot - tearing into his blown LS motor - blown as in blower… and by gawd they were going to pull the head right there! I offered tools etc but they seemed to have plenty.
The point of the story is - rather than just trailer it and head home -- he was going to bust knuckles on the car and see if they could at least make Scottsdale. That's a hot rodder right there!!
He made it -- and the car is kool! So is he.
