Re: HOT ROD POWER TOUR

Amen brother. I remember seeing your three wheeler on the 2001 and
2003 PT. Pretty cool I thought. I quit going when I figured out that
primedia is only in it for the $. They dont give a hoot about us
farther west. I'm not driving 1600 miles to the start and 1600 miles
from the end, especialy at todays prices. I'm hoping Frieburger will
put together a tour with his new business. www.carhunkietv.com I may
be up for that.
