Good to hear nothing or nobody got hurt, little tip though, next time pull it down into first and drift the turn like bo duke. Have a good ol ******* chase and jump the old bridge to escape enis, or at least have some kinda fun if your gonna do it in front of a cop.

I drove through Hanford last Monday. I bet it can get cold down there in the Valley.

Glad it all worked out OK.

On the way to LA. I think Hanford is the limit of how far I want to travel for a day trip. And Stockton. And Sacramento.

Don't listen to those guys ragging on the 2.8. How many of them are still around and running well? VERY FEW! Just think: Your car could be a candidate for an Eco-museum one day where the feature is, "Lame attempts at economy in a muscle car platform" OR "The effects of government regulation on classic car options."

doesnt really bother me when people rag on this 2.8... The v6 is used for those people who need to go further on a tank of gas. besides... i can always swap over to a v8... but why follow a trend? :P

Are you guys still getting a Fresno 3rd gen meet? I'm only 2 hrs. away. I'll be going to the Tahoe gtg in June. Anyone venturing that far? I wouldn't mind piggy backin' with other 3rd gens. I think Jason and his wife will be with me and mine. GN3 FBDY
