Not bad Mr. Celebrity!!!

I personally liked this part:

I insinuated myself on Matt on the first day of the '02 Testosterone Tour, determined to feel the bones of his race car and get the truth from the lucky dog while vintage George Thorogood blitzed the stereo.


The ride I took w/ you from KC to STL gave me MANY bad ideas. My credit card company would like to thank you. lol

See ya on "03 Testosterone Tour".

I am not worthy......

You DA MAN.... Of course, it'd been cooler if it was car craft. Hot Rod has almost been reduced to toilet paper lately.

Looking for big things from you this year Matt. Last year was your trial by fire (literally and figuratively). Without bad luck some of us would have no luck at all.

later....

I meant to congratulate you when we talked the other night, but it slipped my mind

Do you still have that LS1? Any way I can screw you out of it?

congrats again bro!
