NOT NECESSARILY THE WAY TO CELEBRATE A WIN . . . . .


When Miss Ruby and I got back to the hotel, I saw the railroad tie when I was backing into the parking spot.
What I DIDN'T see was the cement parking block a foot in FRONT of the railroad tie.
Basically, I backed up until it sounded expensive!! My body guy assures me that it isn't that bad, but SHEESH!!!


Oh well . . . my paint/body guy has a couple of kids that he still needs to put through college . . . just doing my part . . .

When I was coming back from the Mid-PA GTG on April 28, I hit a milestone:

Today, on the way to NBeast '07, I hit another one:

And speaking of NBeast . . .

. . . nice drive
. . . seeing old friends from the .org
. . . meeting new friends from the .org
. . . good food
. . . no rain

Man that really bites! It's almost like they wanted you to do that. Who puts a freaking cement pillar INFRONT of the RR ties??? It doesn't look as bad as it could so I guess that helps some.
And congrats on the win! I know I told you already but not in this thread

Starting December 4, 2007 a new local cable access show will start in Southern Maryland called Your Custom Ride - it's just a little 4-5 minute fill-in between other cable programs.

My painter was asked to be the host of the show and a another company held a custom car show yesterday to gather cars and kick of the filming.

Approximately 20 shows were taped. "Miss Ruby" is Show 2.

Thought I'd post some pix because, really, how many of you get St. Mary's County local programming channel 10???



























Oh, yeah - she won Best Performance Car.



Go figure!!!

Double congrats to you, Deb! At least it sounds like a fairly intelligent show, but how on earth did they make you wait for the second show!?! I hope it was the host's own car, or at least a family member, in the first!

Yep - you got that right - since I put the supercharger in, I'm lucky to get 150 miles on 3/4th of a tank! Plus, this is the tank of gas that showed I was 1 1/4th full, so I figure I should be running out momentarily . . .

On topic, are Miss Ruby's heads and turns tinted with film or spray or custom lenses?

The heads, tails and turns are film and I'll be replacing the film on the side markers with actual smoke-colored lenses in the next week or so.
