Just got back from checking out the Power Tour. Wow, saw lots of neat cars, including Charley's "El Mule", with the twin turbos and all, and of course, spent alot of time checking out Sandlin's 2004 SS Chevelle. Looks even better in person. And it may have cost me, as Tommy let Rob slide behind the wheel.

Just got back from Springfield...simply AWESOME. Got to see Clill & the Mule, Larry Christensen & the Twister(?), Tommy White and the Aloha/Imagine boys with the HR454SS, Frank Radake, Jim Parks?, saw/heard the Berger/GMMG/Harrell car, saw an '02 ZL-1 (#29 I think), LOTS of GMMG/Hot Rod Edition Camaros, and literally THOUSANDS of other cool cars. If you can find the time, get to a tour stop...you will NOT be disappointed.

Yes I went to Walmart and bought a can of Freon but there was a clamp in the way. Later on at the show the GM contracted suport crew came and spent a bunch of time fixing my AC. They work for Wheel to Wheel in Mi but are hired by GM to assist any GM owners with car problems.While they were under my car it started pouring down rain. I now have AC. They also helped a Camaro with a broken pushrod by swiping a pushrod and rocker arm from one of the display engines. Great guys....And Budnate..I did used to have a CFC license..

I'm trying not to think about all those cars going through the tollways...man there's going to be some P.O.'d people because it's going to take them longer to get through the tollway because of the Power Tour.... bummer

Ah, yes, the Illinois Tollways...another of the many side benefits of living in this great State

Hope everyone on the eastbound NW Tollway tomorrow afternoon has taken their patience pills

I could stand at the Toll booth with my I-Pass if I was a good guy...

With a couple thousand cars possible, better have a lotta credits rung up on that I-Pass And I bet you'd force Charley to pay his own way thru
