    I haven't seen that guy for awhile. He wasn't well. Is he still around?

    Which is absolutely hilarious, considering he was one of the loudest #####ers about people lugging their engines! IIRC, that was one of the first ways he started to throw the owners of that Rutherford truck under the bus, and what was that two whole years ago?

    No, seriously, I am a little concerned. He was always good for a laugh with his stories of 140 mph cabovers, but I wouldn't want anything to happen to him.

    Almost 5! Jeff, the guy who bought it, refused to say anything against those guys until they accused him of lugging it. Then the gloves came off.

    Micro blue bearings, and the list of snake oil #### just kept piling on. Kevin and Bruce sure took them for a ride financially
    Hope they were able to get some good use out of that glider after it was all said and done
