    Thanks!

    So much so that Adam made me Admin in his forum... lol

    ALL I use is Adams. You think that looks good? You should see it now after spending 5 weeks (on and off) correcting the paint.

    In Cedar Falls, a few GTOs/G8s have been meeting up on Sunday afternoon for an hour or so. This Sunday the plan is to meet at Mulligan's on E. 18th/HWY 58 @ 4pm, then go for a short 15 mile cruise. It is pretty low key, everyone is friendly.
