Haven't been on many of these lately but we did decide to do Ken's run this=
past weekend. Great job Ken. Guess I'm just old but anymore I enjoy the=
destination a lot more than the driving. I think many of us like to think=
of these cars as great handling sportscars in the manner of a vintage race=
r. In reality, my minivan probably handles and stops better than your aver=
age LBC. I can see the liability issue. Things are just different today. =
When I first joined, the club bought a keg of beer for all the meetings. =
That obviously had to change. On a lighter note.......The late great Geor=
ge Carlin once said. "While driving, did you ever notice that anyone going=
slower than you is an asshole but anyone going faster is a maniac ! " LOL=
