Wow! I'm impressed! Would she plan all of my trips for me?

Too funny Gary. I can't get my wife to make a grocery list.

Your wife gets the groceries?!?
 
Your wife gets the groceries?!?

No, he just keeps hoping for a list.
 
Damn gurl!!! And her forum handle will be "Extraordinary" LOL
 
Wait until you see her list - 'What I Don't Like About My Husband'


.........c'mon! Somebody had to take a swing. It was just hangin' there over the plate.
 
:rofl:rofl
 
Gary,
I nominate you as the official Ford GT photographer!
 
Gary,
I nominate you as the official Ford GT photographer!

I second that. I had barely known Gary and his wife for 5 minutes when they took the best pictures I have of my car. I was hoping they would take more pictures of my car, but she mentioned something about being behind schedule and the need to move on to phase 2.
 
Gary,

Are you going to issue a daily travel report, with pictures?
 
Bill, I have to be careful about that. If I get started, it will become a compulsion.
 
Understood! But if you do come across anything unique in your long travels, it would be worth one of your posts and photo.
 
Since I nominated Gary,hope he gets a picture of my car at the rally!
BTW no pressure!
