Sad day...

Hi all,

It is with regret that I am informing you all of the sale of my GN and my exit from the wonderful GN community. I guess having only a single car garage means only one toy at a time. Plus, I needed cash for my new Harley... I know, I'm confused...

Anyway, it was great meeting up with so many of you. It was a bunch of fun and I learned a lot too.

I still hope to see a fair number of you around the track since I am still technically a grease monkey for my buddy's 55 Chev and hopefully 67 Nova soon to be completed!

Dragon, MHM, GNAnimo and the rest of the Mississauga / Brampton crowd, we can still hang out right? ;)

TTYL,

Scope

P.S. BTW, who is going to Raker's this Sat? Dragon is playing there with The White (Zep cover band - one of the best!)

Well this sucks.

Good luck with the bike... I'd swear American Chopper was a disease.

Can I have your go fast parts for cheap?

And there is no doubt that you are still welcome to hang out with us all regardless of what you are driving/riding.

Thanks dude. Unfortunately, the go fast parts are going with the car considering they are still on the car...

DOOD!!! NOOoooo!!!

What are you doing man? Sober up and rethink this.

I see it's 12:08am when you typed this so I am assuming:

a) You just got home from the bar and had WAYYY too many.

b) This is your wife typing this trying to get you into selling the death trap.

If it's niether and it is indeed your true sober self.. sigh. You gotta do what you gotta do I guess.

Have you sold your car yet? I have someone looking for a GN right now. (Those go-fast parts would deffinitly be nicer on my car as well)

Don't listen to MHM he owns a Monte Carlo. :whip:

Scope say it isn't sooooooo, buddy i remember last year when you took your car to the track for the first time......you ran the same damn time over and over and over.....then you get bit by the go fast bug drop some coin properly and boom the fast times came... boy does Eric Marshall know about this.. oh well good luck in whatever you do..but remember you will get the itch for one of these again.

Bob,

It is true... I really don't have the garage space... If I did, trust me, I would not get rid of this car!

If I ever do buy another GN, I think I would prefer a hard top though. My ears are still ringing from the wind noise... ;)

Anyway, thanks for the well-wishes and good luck in your efforts too...

TTYL,
Scope
