    AG was such a part of growing up. I remember nights like that. Anyone else? Actually I'm sure we all had great nights like that growing up.

    Anyone else all teared up at hearing this news? Crap its like someone in the family passed away...

    RIP and thanks..

    Isn't what your looking for on the front page (Jalopy Journal) Ryan just posted an article that references an old tech, he shows a pic of a maroon Merc. It may not be as dark in color as you want it though. Who's car is that?
     
  3. I'm in buddy...Just let me know what time to be there. I guess i'm just supposed to park outside?
     
  4. I jus t looked at Candy Clarks myspace,but there wasn't any details.

    "Tie em' to the car and drag em" Thats too bad, wonder what happened. That would be awesome if they could get the Merc from the movie to the funeral. RIP

    Wow, that movie first hit TV when I was like 7. I blame it for my life long obsession with cars. It really is the first "movie" I can recall from my youth.

  30. Fixed the tranny seal today,so I shouldn't have any problems getting the Merc to Manny's funeral tomorrow.
