the jury is out on this "stealership" - nklr

[Fred Hink]

Hey I worked hard for that little red car.  You want to take a guess how many Doohickeys it took to pay that off?  I never thought USA Today would even accept my photo even less use it for their cover photo.  I liked what Chevrolet had to say in the Caption under the photo about my car....  This was one of the finest Corvettes in the collections.    oooohhh  I feel all warm n fuzzy all over.    Fred http://www.arrowheadmotorsports.com   [b]From:[/b] nomad59@...

(some will disagree I m sure)  I may not be a list moderator or business person the rest of my life but I will for sure be a motorcyclist until they pry my cold dead fingers from my grips.  HA   Back to your regularly scheduled programming.......

Couldn't get over how kindly they were treated. That from a  lady who knows the difference between exceptional restaurants, and those  that are only impressed with themselves. Nice job representing the motorcycle community Fred. A sterling impression. Todd
