[DeTomaso] Slackeritis (was Convention ideas)

[Mike Thomas]

OK Larry, that was pretty good, but I drove 6328 604 miles from Eureka, CA
to Covington, WA on the only dry day that JANUARY to get her to her to new
home.  I was so amped up that morning when we left the previous owner's
place I didn't bother to check the tire pressure, and drove all the way home
with only 20-25 pounds in the front tires.   . . . I thought that front end
felt a little mushy . . . 

Been to Vegas and Reno since.

Well said, Larry.  If can get mine back together soon I plan to drive it a
lot this fall.

I'm always amazed by people who say they can't (or wont) drive their Pantera
more than a hundred miles.  When I bought mine I drove it 1,200 miles the
next day; from Chicago to Oklahoma City!  And that was on the original
Arriva tires, no spare and a non-functioning gas gauge.  What's the
problem?  If you have a cell phone and a credit card you should be able to
drive the thing anywhere.

Just my humble .02

Thanks,
Jim Gray

I seem to see a recurring theme:

It (fill in the blank) is too far from (fill in the blank). 

Would your local Starbucks be close enough?

Slackeritis is alive and well in Pantera Land.

Tony Harvey must be rolling in his grave.

My first drive in 2511 was 510 miles - Medford to Fresno - in one day.
More than some of you guys have done in ten years.

DRIVE IT!!...........or sell it to someone who will use it for what it was
intended.

Rant over. Flame suit on.

Larry
