If you want, I'll drive my DW's car up there, now THERE is a real oldie but a goodie,and I don't mean in the classic sense.  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Hell yeah. As an Umpire, I can see everything that needs to be seen. I can't hear worth a damn, can't bend too well either, but driving, they don't call me Lenn "Mario Andretti' G for nothin'.

You kidding?  Go to Southern California where rust hasn't even been invented yet.  You could take a tour of all these little storefronts with old, restored cars on display that just absolutely knocks your socks off.  If you dress classy and pull up in a Bentley, they probably will let you test drive a few.

I'm trying to plan my bike trip to Bradenton and back and I'm a little shocked at how much time it's going to take to get there and back in time for the BBQ.   400 miles a day is the target and the whole trip is going to be over 3,000 miles.  Divided up I'm looking at 8 days, realistically.  The total number of days on the trip will be 18.  Leaves me 10 days to play some golf, Catch fish, wander around mountains in PA, MD, VA, WV, TE and the Ozarks in No. Georgia.  I have to hug my two sisters, one sister-in-law and one brother-in-law and the all of you guys.

I've never had to be this organized in my life. 
Of course none of this will matter if I get in a fatal accident.  I'll call you guys to let you know I won't be coming if that happens.

hey man, i lived in california for 14 years. 2 towns over from pebble beach. i think ive seen some cars............
