[VegasRacer]

So last weekend I take Elvira out at sunset for an enjoyable 50 mile loop around Lake Mead. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
On the way home I stop at 7-11 for a large cola suurpee.
When I come out of the store I see a guy leaning over checking out Elvira closely.
He sees me comming and stands up straight. I notice he is still standing really close to the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

I nod and say 'Howdy' as I approach.

His reply stops me in my tracks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

This guy says "I built this car." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

Turns out he is the son of the guy who created the car almost 20 yrs ago.
He was 16 at the time and said he spent many hours with his dad at the shop bringing the car to life.
He proudly said he even got to drive her a few times. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif)
He said the thought the car was destroyed in a fire.
He also told me he had an ablum of photos from his fathers estate.
After almost an hour in the parking lot we agreed to meet this weekend and exchange momentos and talk more.
(He said he wanted one of the original 1 SLIK6 license plates.)

Well . . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) he came over tonight and we talked about Elvira and other car stuff for hours. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
