He used to drag race with it. The first time my mom drove it (shortly after they were married) he told her to push on the gas peddle very gently. Like she was stepping on an egg without cracking it. He got the, “I’m not dumb. I know how to drive a car...!!!” shortly followed by unintentional doughnuts in the parking lot.

The way my dad tells the story...that was a quiet ride home.
great story. Blessings for a quick recovery.

I'm fairly certain Rick has that kind of FU money that he just wouldn't allow Joe Schmo to show him up. Could be wrong...

That's a pretty unfair thing to say. It won't all go to the politicians, so please don't single them out. Totally uncool.







PSS: I almost forgot, there will also be plenty to go in the pockets of the school administrators too......Gotta give credit where credit is due.....
