[Scott Somers]

Thanks for the feedback.  Kinda hate to see it go.  The vette dealer asked 
how I liked the 300 horses in the vette.  He looked surprised when I told 
him it was a letdown after 600 in the Chevelle.  Had only put about 300 easy 
miles on the Gen6 and it wanted to be turned loose.  Guess I should have. 
I'm kinda at the point where it's not what ya do but how ya look while 
you're doing it so I will probably mild 350 crate the next ride and just 
profile.  Love Mercs with mail box slot windows.  Actually as long as its 
old and I could have not bought one new at the time ( I'm 58 so I could have 
bought a Chevelle new.)  then I'm into it.  Might just get another Chevelle. 
There is one around the corner that is very very slick - 66 with custom 
frame LS1, really pro touring and expensive.  Very sweet with the right look 
but 50 large generates a large sucking sound in my accounts.  But I think 
the 50 is fishing. They are into high buck cars and looking for a whale.

Hate to hear you're selling the Chevelle,Scott. I've had more Tri-5's that 
I
can count,over thirty Corvettes,a few streetrods,and a half dozen El
Caminos. An El Camino has been part of my life in some shape or fashion 
for
over forty years. We owned our 68 for thirty two years and selling it in 
May
2000 was really hard. Heck,I think I'll just keep my 69 till the day they
put me in the ground.
