hahahahahahaha! Yeah I was pretty much flying high the other night. When I took it out for
the initial test drive, I had people looking at the truck. Couple guys in a Chevy were
watching me leave the gas station. She sure is a sight. Kicked in door, funky mismatched
street tires, missing lug nuts, stock "ugly" steel painted rims, and a rumbling flowmaster 40
series heh. Mmm yeah I couldn't keep my foot off the hammer that night heh.

Yup! Your Dakvert, Jon's Dakvert, Christine.. and if Walt finishes up his '88, it would be the
first time all four would be together at one meet. And the most Gen I Daks @ a BBQ ever.
