Hello to all,
Just sitting home in
central WI watching the first snow storm here this
winter! Blowing snow, slppery roads, near zero visiblity at
times out on "The Slab," I-94 south of Eau Claire WI. Be
careful out there!
Anyway, I turned on the computer
and hit the email button! Nay to the Nay sayers I
say! Hats off to Neil, Brent, Marv and for the
many to follow with the same upbeat comments on their memories of a
great time had by (I will say) "ALL" who were there, with or without their
rides.
I personally kick my own butt
for not getting my car done by the time of, and for the trip to
Tulsa. But, even without the Forwardlook ride, my brother ( who
doesn't give a squat about fins)and I, had a super three days.
New friends, new faces to match
with names from a computer, beautiful cars, great surroundings, fun talks, heck,
where else could you spend 2, 3, 4 days with so many gearheads, purists,
customizers, rat rodders, racers, collectors, former employees of Ma Popar,
lawyers, doctors, and probably an Indian Chief, without going to the same annual
events held for the same reason year after year.
Money!
As far as Sharon Davis and her
bumbling sidekick along with Clod B., I could give two
Sh..s (shoes!) as I think back. I went there to
see "The Car Star, of the Century past!" I don't care who made money
off from us, or any of the thousands of others who attended. If you
were not there, your loss! If you think we got skinned, screwed,
bamboozled, hoodwinked, taken, ripped off...GREAT! We will have the great
memories, you will have the same bitter taste in your mind of how you think we
should feel!
I look back on the memories,
pour over some pics now and then, and you know what...I have never even figured
out what the trip cost me! I can tell you it cost me $1763 in fuel cost
for my 2005 trip to Alaska, 8.3 MPG, but I really don't care! I went for
the "being there, knowledge from being there, and seeing and experiencing
in person what you "nay sayers" can only grumble about
because you were not there.
Hats off to all the "veterans"
of Tulsarama, let's do it again somewhere!
John in WI..now to go out and put on the
snowplow....(15 deg.)
