We'll squeeze you in there Mario!

I take it your last name is Persico correct? I have to have a roster prepped for the folks at the engine plant.

Just to confirm the update from Sarge on this tour.

This is a manufacturing plant and you will be required to wear safety glasses (provided), No Open Toe Footwear.....women or men ( I say that because I'm almost always in Teva sandals all summer).

No rings or loose jewelry, on an assembly line there is a quality word called "FOD" (Foreign Object Damage) as a new vehicle owners the last thing you want is a piece of something going through your engine. Ask Barry Grubb to explain....it could be heart BREAKING.

Now my wedding ring will not come off my fat finger without a pair of side cutters so we will see how that works out......but I think they are concerned about loose jewelry.....

So please bring some sneaks or shoes for the tour, you will not be allowed in the plant otherwise.

This is a worldclass engine assembly plant and will be an outstanding tour for sure, thank's to our 3 amigo host's for setting it up!

So, I should put my long hair up in a hat, and remove my giant gold chains?

You can leave your Mr. T starter kit in the glovebox. Clown
