    Hey, All! The Weather is supposed to be great all weekend. So, I was thinking of getting in some quality time with my little Red Car...:)

    I do have to stop by Fox Valley Motors and check out a car. And, all of their other cars, too....:) (Need to do that tomm.-Sat. Closed Sunday.) Then, whatever....?

    Not an early start or anything.... If anyone is up for a little drive either day, let me know. I am up for it either/both days. We can drive, then stop somewhere for a bite.

    I have a few ideas....But am open for suggestions....

    North on RT.12 to the Volo Auto Museum?

    Forest Preserves down by Palos Hills?

    Out West on RT.64-North Av., or RT.38-Roosevelt Rd., RT.20-Lake St., RT.34-Ogden Av.,....?

    Just let me know....

    Well, I went for a nice drive today. Stopped by Fox Valley Motors and checked everything out. Right now, they have a Yellow Gallardo Spider. And a Black/Black with Red stiching Gallardo Spider.(Sold) Along with an absolutely incredible, all black Murcielago Roadster. (Sold....and, unfortunatley, not to me....:( ) 3 new Z06 Corvettes.


    Amongst all of the beautuiful Cars, they also have a Yellow Lamborghini Jalpa. Red/Tan 88.5 Testarossa. The Goldie Hawn Mondial cab. is still there. LOTS of really cool looking "Loti"- Espirit, Elise and Exige, in every color of the rainbow. A silver "Rambo Lambo" LM002. Wow! Lots of neato cars!

    So, again, if anyone wants to go out driving tomorrow, post here and we can meet up somewhere.

    Here are a couple unusual cars at FVM. The Silver "Rambo Lambo" LM002. A Yellow Jalpa. And a side view of a new 2006 Corvette Z06. Sharp!

    Whatever happened to the telephone?? Is it now an antiquated thing of the past!

    Communication through F-Chat and Email is as about as haphazard as it can get..........

    Some people must think that all we do is sit at our puters' 24/7.

    Some of us do have Lives!!

    If ya want to get something going, get on the horn. It's what men do!

    Yes, that is the cemetary. One of my best old buddies passed away when we were 36,(10 years ago! I can't believe it's been that long already!) And, I go there to have a beer with him once in awhile. But, yeah, I've always liked that windmill over there.

    Hey Skip. Glad to see that you are such an authority about men....Hmmmm....is that something we hetero guys need to worry about when you are around....?....;)

    ROTFLMAO! As far as the telephone being an "antiquated thing of the past".....You may be on to something there, Skip!

    "Communication through FChat and E-mail being haphazard"? Wake up, Dude! It's the 21st. Century!!!!...:)

    Besides. I was just taking more pictures of my car in front of stuff again. You aren't really interested in that, are you?

    First, I don't have your phone number. Daytona Rick has a great idea about making up a phone list. You cannot have it unless your phone number is on it, too. Anyone up for that? I am. I think it's a great idea!

    Second. Did you happen to notice the word that I used, "Impromptu"? It was a "last minute" (impromptu) idea that I posted on Friday night at 11:00PM!

    Third. Normally, when I want to do something concerning my Ferrari and others. I usually check FChat. Alot of people check it every day just to see "what's going on". I don't everyday. But if I want to see if anything might be going on....especially, the weekend..I do. But, I'm probably the last guy that sits at a computer all day. I have too much else going on, which, most may consider as "Having a Life". I do! Between my kids. My 2 new Businesses. Trying to Rehab my Kneee at Physical Therapy. Going to the Gym. Taking care of my property. Going out. Etc...which I would pretty much consider as "having a life"......I mean, no doubt that I would rather just sit around and drink beer and B.S. at the Auto Repair shop all day, every day....;) But I'm just too darn busy!!!!...:)

    So, I would advise checking FChat often. And lets get that phone number list going!

    Yeah, really. I don't know why Skip always has to take a nice little post and ruin it. Nothing better to do, I guess.....

    You know, you've said some incredibly stupid and classless things before, (and tried to blame it on your Meds.) but that takes the Cake! More like what a 3rd. grader would say! Hey, anytime you want to say something about my manhood, say it to my face....Not hiding on the "Haphazard Internet!"

    And, by all means, I would never, ever, under any circumstances, strike a feeble old man....never! But, I just might snatch that bad, 1980's style Rug off the top of his head....like at the end of the Motley Crue video for "Smokin' in the Boys Room".....:)

    Yes, it is a beautiful drive. And some nice spots to park and get out for awhile. Also some small lakes, and a Nuture Center, too, called "The Little Red Schoolhouse".
