[DeTomaso] NPC - NO POLITICS

[Gray Gregory]

Larry can certainly be a vociferous advocate for his political views and he and I have had a few spirited debates over the years, but I have to say that he has never resorted to name calling with me (as I hope I haven't with him). On the flip side he and I have raised a glass and shared meals at various car events and I've always enjoyed talking to him. He's a nice guy and a real Pantera enthusiast with one of the nicest Panteras out there (and he drives it!). 

Proving once again that car guys come in all shapes and sizes and it's the cars that bring us all together!

larry is quite a force to be reckoned-with as long as he is sitting behind a keyboard.  The best option is to just filter his emails.  Works for me....  Now, back to the Pantera

That doesn't work either. I have had personal emails from larry calling 
me every name in the book. Best just to avoid it all together!
