One time at Hot August Nights -- Silver Auction -- I was standing next to Charley and we had been talking about a '32 Ford that was really done nicely.... So I said -- "I want to watch (meaning bid on) that '32 when it comes up" --- and he says -- "Yeah, I'm going to buy it". My heart sunk - my shoulders drooped -- I hung my head... as I watched him bid. I wanted that car. No way was I going to bid against him.


Nice buy Mister "I'm B M"!! (private joke - and not what you think)

Wait, was that the charcoal one?

I remember when he bought that one. Saw him a couple days later. God that's a nice car.

clill has WAY too many cool cars. If "He who dies with the most toys, wins" holds true, Charlie is taking 1st, 2nd, and possibly 4th (he'd let Greg have 3rd)

No --- it was a dark blue -- with a killer flame job -- and dark deep red interior. After he bought it I was glad - as it turned out he didn't like driving it. So maybe he saved my arse...

You might be thinking of "Stacked"??

I think he didn't like driving it because it was TOO nice.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.
