[Shotimes] Happy Father's Day

[Rick Glass]

Very cool,
I think one of my best car related days with my Dad was when I was 15 and he 
let me drive his '70 Torino GT, too bad we were on the back roads and he 
wouldn't let me get in it, that thing was fast.  He said it was too much car 
for me, so he sold it when I turned 18 to some guy for about $1800, the guy 
gave it to his 17 year old son who totalled it in less than 2 weeks.

We may not have track days or car stuff to share an interest in, but I sure 
am glad he's still here with me.

My daughter is with the ex in-laws, but called a few hours ago and asked me 
to come get her Sunday afternoon so she could be home with me, I thought 
that was great, made my day before it ever got here.

Happy Fathers Day everyone..........
