You have to be a car guy to understand...

Forget about coming down to wire... This one is going to come down to a miracle.

They do happen.

Nothing is ever perfect and all to often the harder we push to make something happen, the harder it pushes back. Keep in mind that at the end of the day we (you, me and everyone else) does this for fun. It's one thing if the car doesn't make it to RTTC. It's another if you don't. Laurie and I sincerely hope you and the family will be there. It's been way to long since we've seen you guys and it's time we hang out and have some laughs.

Curtis,

You're absolutely right - the point of ALL of this is fun! Some guy named Emmerson (who was later quoted by another guy named Tyler) once said "Life's a journey, not a destination" and that really does (or should) sum it all up. There is not a minute of my time with the OLC that I would trade for anything. I have been blessed in that a labour of love has lead to a huge circle of friends which have ultimately resulted in a lifetime of experiences in a relatively sort time.

We loaded the car up tonight "as is" and will finish things up in the parking lot tomorrow if we can. It might be ready, it might not. I will be at RTTC one way or another... If I have to finish it in a rented Kia I will... More than anything I'm looking forward to a weekend amongst friends. Unfortunately Deb and Eve won't make it this time... Mary wore the two of them out last month and they're grounded for a while.

One way or another... See you soon!

haha, we were joking about this today actually. It looks like my old Mustang may be seeing rental duty this weekend for Yancy. I'm not too worried actually, so far there are only three rules. 1) it must be returned with a full tank. 2) you break it you buy it (if anyone notices warped rotors, they weren't that way before ) 3) Mike Norris isn't allowed to drive it because some kind of "Final Destination" situation will play out, like a trans breaking, a wheel falling off, or god knows what else. I thought I had bad luck.

Really hope you guys make it, but regardless, I'm sure there will be some good stories to be shared about this weeks activities!

Matt

p.s. Mary/James, if the OLC isn't ready and you need a rental car, there will be a fourth rule. All roadkill must be scrubbed off before return.

[James OLC]

Hey... Mary is responsible for the road kill...

I just blew it up after she split Rocky in half...

Glad to hear you are coming regardless James. I'm sure you guys will get it going--if you need a garage when you are here to work on it---Thurs or Fri, let me know!

I can't afford your garage Doug... My liver just isn't up to that much abuse...

What am I saying? I'm Canadian....

James, don't tell us too much, or there will be nothing to read about in the next Camaro Performers....!
