[VAL] Yea, yea-Old Grease



Rik,
Yea, yea, yea.....just dig in at me.... two busts for me out of 17. East 
coast fire and total loss, West coast explosion and fire (did I tell you I 
learned to hate Huntington Beach, $4,300 and a week there) so I guess if you 
can't stand the pain, you shouldn't play the game. Twenty seven hours 
straight out of Key West, mile post 100. Space panties! If I'd only worn a 
diaper maybe no fire! Hey, I got to meet you didn't I? Wasn't a total loss. 
When you gonna sell me that pristine trailer you lucky dog? The best 
trailers are above you in Oregon and Washington State! But I'm still burned 
on your old West Coast stuff. Too far and just awful laws, and laws, and 
rules, for rules, and fees for everything including fees for the fees! Geez, 
let me get some grease and fix my hair!

Hey, I bought a really near pristine '76 Silver Streak Motor Home! Flew to 
Phoenix for $99 and drove it back non-stop! Had to keep her below 100mph El 
Paso to San Antonio stretch. Supposed to be one of only 12 made. Who knows? 
I didn't even know Silver Steak made a Motor Home! Tom Patterson knew it 
though. The thing is Dodge powered, dualed out, and ran like the 78 Argosy 
454 out of the Great Lakes. Both got better mpg than Tom's Steamline, ha! I 
still should have listened to Tom and NOT done that, tow two back, 
California trip.

Now if I just had an Airstream Motor Home like your two, we could race! 
Gotta get an Airstream!
