Awww Joel, don't make me drive over to your house and hang out. I know you don't want that. You have been the best of friends to many of us several times over and, in spite of your denial, you can't diminish the feelings we have for you for all you've done for us, and we do take all your spare time ( Online ). Hope we're not causing you grief with the wife, but don't that sound like friends to you bro. Sorry we don't know how to repay the kindness you've showed us, but we'd be happy to if we could.
Jimmy, (representing more friends of yours than most folks ever dreamed of )
chaw on that, my friend.

Well, I did and he did!!!
I let a friend drive it, I was with him. It was just around the parking lots at a county park. He went slow. But when he went to park it, I started saying, "don't get to close to the curb because my front spoiler is real low"
Never got the full sentence out of my mouth and he ran the spoiler into the rocks smashing it into 2 pieces. He felt real bad, and offered to pay for it. I said don't worry, its a car. I took it home ,fiber glassed it back together, painted it and had it back on the "Beast" in 3 days.
Not only did he feel bad, but he was extremely embarrassed because about 15 of our friends and our wives were all right there in the parking lot and watched him do it!!
A year later he still gets razzed for it !!
He said he wont drive it again. LOL
Now I want to say, it is just a car. I built it to drive and enjoy. Now I am careful with it.
I have let a lot of people drive the "Beast". (I am in the car with them) I love watching the pure joy and excitement in their face as they drive it. I will give a ride to just about anybody that asks. I love letting little kids get in it and seeing the burn of "I want one of these when I grow up" look! Ignite the dream young in them of what a real car is! Not some rice burner. Well In think I've said enough !
