No I wasn't there for that, but I remember Greg and I were working on the Camaro and one by one you guys were showing up.
Everyone was standing around drinking beer, I was sanding body filler on the back and Greg was under the hood doing something with the 355.
All of a sudden Greg's sister gets dropped off by one of her friends and she stops to say hi to all you guys. She just got back from going out, so she's all gussied up and as she walks back to the house, I look up from sanding and all you guys are staring at her speechless. I think Eric and Pat started knudging each other.
The whole time Greg's still under the hood oblivious to what's going on.
I told him later and his response was that he's glad he didn't see that because all you guys would be in trouble.

The blazer was impounded at college while I was back home for a session and I had recently bought the XJ which came with a terrible Walmart stereo. Anyway there was always a slight disagreement (like everything else) over which radio station we wanted to listen to. I remember “Shake Ya Tailfeather” came on the radio for the millionth time and to rub it in Pam was singing along. I didn’t like the radio much anyway and ripped the faceplate off and chucked it out the window. Look on her face was priceless, lol.
FYI my sister was 13-14 when you guys were working on the Camaro, that’s just wrong!

Don't loop me in on checking out your sister. That would be like me checking out my own sister! I bet our buddy Craig was there. I would blame it all on him.
We did so much stupid crap back then. I'm glad to see that we hold true to that tradition today.
I wasn't looking either, I just looked up from what I was doing because it got dead quiet and saw why.
Rob, if I ever win the lottery, I'm relocating you to MA. You are our group's "Midwest Correspondent".
In other news, I have a lot more material to write about in terms of stuff like this. The funny thing is that we still do this stuff, so I should be writing about our exploits for a long time. I can't wait to share more with you guys!
Can't be worse than forgetting your car that your moving a trailer with is in gear as you're trying to unhook the trailer to tilt it more to load another dead vehicle on to the trailer. After you successfully unhook said in gear car, it goes launching through the ditch, and stops in the bushes in the neighbors yard, after your wife decides to play ninja and dive through the open door to snatch the e-brake. After which, one of you drives it through the neighbors yard at a high rate of speed, while honking the horn.
Nothing like those shenanigans right?
I wrote something... again!!!

My love for cars + my love for old video games = great writing material.
Jeez.... I must be getting old. I remember that game!
The game is seriously a ton of fun. I sat on the floor for over an hour smacking that reset button every 10 seconds or so trying to cut a sub-6 second pass. Some people call that insanity. I call it fun!
Also, sitting on the floor hurts way more when you get older.
Also, I believe this is actually the very first Activision game released. Like, ever. They went from drag racing to 8 year olds shooting each other.
LOL
When you were a kid, you probably sat on the floor on a bean bag chair. I know I did!
You had the expensive model then ours was just brown.
