  9. I'm looking for a word that says: Perfectly awesome, and quite possibly better than she ever was.

    I don't do that good in my own dreams.

    As Errett Lobban Cord said, upon seeing the 810 for the first time - "A Goddam WOW!!"

  21. We saw it yesterday and I must say it is beautiful. You guys did a helluva job and should be very proud.
     
  22. I am sure that truck is nicer now than it ever dreamed of before...absolutely spotless, and breathtaking. The pictures do not do this build any justice. Luckily got a chance to drool Friday before the crowds were too crazy...

    Gene was really excited about it when I talked to him on Friday, making sure everyone had seen "his truck"...
     
  23. again wow from being found to now !!! my hats off to you !
