The one with son isn't from Montreal, I believe they were from British Columbia. The baldish one could be Gary. Was his car the bumble bee?

Not sure - didn't see him with his car. And I was describing only one person in that post. LOL.

I bet it's looking real good. We were also very happy when things were coming into place.

Wow! Glad you had fun at the picnic! I haven't been to one, I believe it's a few decades!

ONe person?

Then it's the man from British Columbia, because our group didn't go with kids!

Didn't bump into a tall greyish, with moustache and his wife has red hair?
That would be Rick(Rickray) he called us on Sat. while we were driving to Plattsburgh, and asked my hubby for his list of goodies to pick up for him.
My hubby is getting lots of goodies for his camaro! Men!

So let's get this straight.

You can't be in front of a Toyota because of SUA. You can't be behind a Toyota because it might deploy its spare tire into your windshield. You can't be next to a Toyota because when it corners, it might roll over and crush you.
Will it ever end.
