Yep, almost everyone that is from here has been brainwashed by their union to vote for the Demos. I don't like people that can't or won't think for themselves.

Guns are a different story for me. I love em!

I have heard that too! I've traveled and worked all over this Country. I'm a firm believer I that old saying "When in Rome, do as Romans do".

I have a 1995, 4x4 Ford Supervan that is jacked up quite a bit, has bigger tires and wheels on it than factory. The locals all love it! Everywhere I go in it, guys ask about it. Maybe the redneck in me will help make some friends down there.

Hey buddy, some people would say you are old...Not me though. Take the Nomad down there and show them what cool is.

And we do thank you.

Want to see crazy drivers, go to southern Fl. Of course most of those people learned to drive in a different country. Leave 5' between you and the next car and they will try to pull out into that space.

I was stopped at a light down there, 2 lanes, I was in the right lane. Car pulled out behind me from the right, trying to go into left lane. Ran right into the left rear corner of our car. I was dead stopped, she started from a dead stop, how hard is it to negotiate that turn. Of course she could only speak a couple of words of English.

Well I turn 60 this year so the count down has began...remember I'm not GM anymore since I left 28 years ago to go to Kelsey-Hayes (Now ZFTRW) and we don't have the pensions like GM and don't do early buyouts and the way the stock market hit us in 2008 it's been hell recovering from that mess.

I did talk to the government yesterday to see If I could just pay you and Hank and save the money by not going through middle man (Government) and they will get back to me. I was going to start you guys on profit sharing program.

Hey Ric, thanks for thinking about your OLD buddies. I just got off the phone with the Government Employee that I believe you spoke to. He gave me authorization to have your generous donations to Hank and my retirement funds sent directly to us. He thinks that is a fine idea, as it will save the Feds a small amount of paperwork and stamps monthly, and we all know how the Feds like to save your hard earned tax-dollars. No waste at all if possible.. You may start mailing both Hank and I a check in the amount of 2000 per month, beginning last month. I could just drive out to your place and pick it up once and a while, but please refrain from asking me to do this very often, as it could conceivably interrupt my nap time. Many thanks for thinking about us!

It is funny hearing you talk about the slow drivers Tony. I held off as long as I could to have my son take his drivers ed class. Well now he has his permit and scares the crap out of me when I am driving with him. I make him drive the small Toyota and he is mad. He says all his friends drive trucks why can't he drive the Suburban. Duh..... You need to learn to drive a car before I let you behind the wheel of a truck. Funny thing is that it costs more to insure him on the 2003 Suburban than on a 2008 Toyota. I think it is because of the amount of damage he can do in the truck.

I worked it all out with the Government employee(I think his name was Jimmy from Florida) and we worked out a deal where I will sent money to you and Hank direct. It will be mailed sometime during the month (I pick the date) and you will have to at the mail box the day it is delivered (Government requirement) and if you are not at the mailbox the money will come back to me as undeliverable and you forfeit that months handout. Sounds fair to me.

On another note, I talked to one of Obama team and they were telling me about this whole new program they are calling Obama Car to go along with the Obama phone and Obamacare where they will taking cars from others that have more than one and giving it to the people that don't. I told them about you and your cars and they thought you would be a good place to start and that the Nomad would be a good car for a single mother that has 5 kids from 5 fathers and they were excited that I gave them this information. I would be cool if you took off the "Mad Gasser logo" and replace it with " "Obama Car"

Also, I guess the IRS has some questions for you as well but I'll stay out of that.

Have a great day

Damn Ric, with friends like you, I should start looking for some "Jimmies" to hang around with.

Are Ric and Jimmy brothers ? LOL
