If FP comes, all our wives will flutter about him. He is such a charmer.

That's a good thing.

Then we can drive our cars without a nagravator adding weight and advice while slowing us down on the Dragon.

(Oh, am I gonna get it for this one)

In addition, we'll be needing music for the ride (Mapquest says 14hrs., 15m.; 823.74 miles & oddly enough, it's got darn near the exact route I was planning. Who would've thought!).

Time to burn several CD's !!

So, how about some suggestions for the rookie!
I've got:
Can't drive 55 - duh
Bad Boys Running Wild - Scorp's
Breakin' the Law & Turbo Lover - J. Priest
Highway to Hell
Highway Song - Iggy Pop
Red Barchetta - Rush (STILL the world's greatest 3 man band!)
Moving in Stereo - Cars
etc., etc.

Any further suggestions are welcome .
Heck, I've got 28+ hours to kill!!

Just please, no country, no rap. Heck, even a good "moving" concerto is OK!
Well, except for Flight of the Bumblebee........I'd rather stick needles in my eyes.
Doobie Bros - Rockin' Down the Highway

Any J. Geils Band song

Senor Valky - Add my wife, Karen, to the attendee list, but we'll now be departing Sun rather than Mon.

See you all in 3 weeks!

Gracias,

Harbor

(p.s. - I'm trying to get you ready for your Mexican Riviera cruise)

It should be glaringly obvious, Kenny Loggins, "Highway to the Danger Zone".

Anything by ZZ Top.

But "Nationwide" comes to mind first...

At long last, a mod to remove the annoying whine from the starboard side of the vehicle.

You guys are making this meet very damn hard to not show up at!
Apkano, you have a least a shot waiting for you if you show!
Which you should - you only live once.
Besides, the Smokeys can ONLY be better than our respective hometowns at this time of year!

Yeah, like that. You should see FP work a room. But, I must hand it to him, always with class.
