I honestly would like to thank Reid for offering up such a beautiful
calendar to the non members of AHCUSA. I tried being a member, but
opted out for reasons of my own. I have been given small doses of crap
for owning a Sprite and not being a member, but I just consider the
source and go on. As far as I am concerned, I don't need to justify my
love of these little cars to anyone, be it through car shows or clubs.
I can understand Jay's thoughts, but it is a nice bit of work, and it
WAS offered up for us all. Most of my cars are the more box shaped
cars (is that better Jay?) but I do own a 60 Bugeye. Linda, I honestly
don't think there will be much attention given to them. But then, I
could alway be proven wrong. Only time will tell.
