Brad and I were thrashing on the Camaro our first year at Bville in 99 and
an older fella walked up and started chatting with us.... next thing I know

certificate..... Sorry I can't remember his name but the point was that he
did it many years ago and was still coming to the salt enjoying his
Peers....
