MOM ! ! !

He did it AGAIN ! ! !

5 in the Drive now. What the HELL is wrong with me?
97 camfailure - 1st camfailure ever, I'm told... :-\

Uncle Lar ! ! ! Can I have a little help getting this one on the trailer? Thanx, Buddy.

"Daddy took his Tbird away", so now I'm gonna make a birthday present for my son. Tires were worth more than I paid for the car. I got pix,
I just gotta get some help getting them out of the phone from Mama.

Also, please to be registering yet another Camfailure:
