    Congrates on the opening. Give Metro Sports a call, they might be interested in having a camera crew there.

    Its a unique facility to this area and wish you well. Perhaps Porsche service will be in your future, there is room for this need in the metro.

    This morning on my way to work I passed a truck pulling a trailer. On that trailer read, “A & C Exotic Carriers”. Had a 512 area code. Goodies for the open house maybe???

    Very nice!! The limo isn't bad either. Do you rent it out, or is it for those special days when you load the family up and head up to the Iron Skillet? :)

    It was a great time. Good to see all of you that I haven't seen in soo long. I took a little over 50 pics, but none of them are digital. I shot half for photo class, but if anyone wants to see some black and whites I can bring them to Club meets.

    WOW! Thanks to everyone that attended, with nearly 500 people that came through the doors on Saturday I did not get a chance to talk to everyone!

    Tom Hnatiw with SPEED Channel was late to arrive due to a flight cancelation out of Chicago, but he arrived in great spirits and everyone had a blast!

    The party continued at Brio's on the Plaza Saturday evening, where we acknowledged everyone's hard work and welcomed Dave Helms and Grant Maiman to the Rosso family.

    I certainly want to thank Anthem Media and Brian Weaver for the incredible work they have done for us, we cannot wait to announce some of the fun events planned for later this year!

    Thank you Kansas City!

    Tom, too bad you did not get a chance to come by. Michelle and I were looking forward to meeting you. Also, my kids were looking forward to meeting the guy who trades his cars out more frequently than their dad.
