Too many to fit in his garage? That wouldn't be hard, unless he has a
hangar - for a C5.

Mike and all,
Not to get all mushy and stuff (Mad Dog.....bite your tongue you dork),
but if you can just get one-quarter of the people in the Pantera community
that you have helped over the years to come up for an engine pulling party
on your car, I bet you would have too many people to fit in your garage!
When you are ready, pick a date and give a few weeks notice of the date.
I'll drive up from SoCal, and will bring whomever from down here that wants
to go!
Perry (Mike helped me A LOT back in the
day!) Lindsey

I drove his car last year, and found it rather underwhelming. If it was
1000 pounds lighter, it might have been more interesting.
