After hearing him say this I made it part of my personal repertoire and use it frequently. "We live in a time when intelligent people are being silenced so that stupid people won't be offended".

Really liked the looks of that car with the big air scoop like a real muscle car (A12 LOH/Demond)

He would always have cool people show up randomly or as a planned guest. One year it was Joe Schubeck (planned and with his dragster) but about 8 years ago Craig Breedlove was there. That was SO COOL!!! I honestly had no idea what he looked like at the time but I kept overhearing people say "Craig" and/or "Breedlove". Sure enough, it was HIM!!! Ed B
