Re: The Meet Gremlin bites me.
OK Earl, if you can't make Reading, then how about coming to our MUCH CLOSER meet in Los Angeles?!? You don't even have to bring any of your toys, just your cheerful presence.

Re: SVXs in Pick'n'pull
Bummer. The closest one to me is San Jose, 281 miles. Not good for a Saturday afternoon parts check. I don't even know if there is a Pick'n'pull yard in the LA area.
