Hey Jack... sorry to hear about the troubles.
Just a word of advice, better check your window tint before you go.
I would want you to get a ticket thrown in on top of everything else!
(just messin' with ya, but I couldn't resist!)
Oh yeah... maybe you can take your headers with you and turn it into a
"Group Project" at the South Nats?
Either way, hope your weekend is better then your week!
