Cool stuff. The billygoat is a PT poster child.

Bill is also a poster child, but I think that is for This Old House...LOL

Thanks guys. I just learned that there is a replay of the show either tonight or tommorrow night, so I will try and catch it. Three words in real estate selling, Location,Location,Location. I knew this might happen when they parked that vette 100 ft away from the car at SEMA. It was just luck.
Cruisin Scene mag is coming here tommorrow to shoot the goat and malibu for future articles, I am looking forward to that too.

Luck my ass. That was the direct result of two hardcore obsessive neurotics.
1) First Bill and I tried to bring the car to the show two days early.
-That didn't work.
2) Then we strategically placed the car across the street from the convention center so we could pounce if the call came to bring the car in.
-Still one day early. We didn't know what the heck was going on.
3) Then we (Mary and I, this time) went to the show office all freaked out.
-They told us to take the car away and wait on line for paperwork.

4) Finally--on the right day--we ignored the explicit instructions to wait across the street from the convention center. I drove right past the security guards (waving--Hi, how are ya?) and parked the car right in front of the main entrance to the convention center. We then called Tyler and Chris who actually know how to follow instructions and told them to do the same with their car. "Dude, just drive right past those security guards and park behind us. They're clueless"
-That worked! First in line, baby.

We acted like a complete nutbars. But it worked. They put us right next to the convention center's main entrance doors.

Yeah, I learned that trick from you. And of course, it doesn't hurt that you guys designed and built a car that's totally Rock Star. If the GTO was a hag, I doubt we would have made out as well--nutbar or otherwise.
