Here's an idea, why wouldn't you drive your car? Or do you just not trust explorers that much?

I just thought it was funny how ya'll were tryin' to figure out how to get ya'll's cars out to AZ to pick on Doug without driving your Explorers.

On a side note, my Dad just called and told me he bought a house in CA, so if my job hunt here continues to suck I might move out there, then I could go bug Doug all the time.

Heh, I seem to recall begging you to go back and get my stomach after that little 'ride' in the Mach ("HALP! HALP! Jeff's tryinna kill me!!!!!!!!!!") I'll have to ask Bri to scan that pic of your speedometer, Jeff :D

Matt, you fartknocker. You move out to CA and I'm gonna be SO jealous (wheelin AND hot cars!!). I'm thinking if Fug can't be here for to Carlisle this year, i bet he'd have no prob if you flew up here and drove it out to show it off for him.... ;)

Awwww, it wasn't that bad.:p I don't think your eyeballs "quite" reached the windshield during braking, and I'm pretty sure that I didn't see any eyeball dents in the back of your head from the acceleration. :D

I think we are all going to miss Doug when he joins the Army in a few short weeks.

Here's another shot of Doug's trucks... more like his lights with the covers on..
