[s-cars] Robbery....LeMans Classic video lost forever!!

[saltinot at alltel.net]

Oh yes we got suspects.  Caught the guy on Saturday.  He still had the pawn ticket in his pocket for my Paslode framing nailer and Skil saw.  Also the keys to a stolen Jeep.  The rest of my items were traded for crack cocaine according to the suspect.

Actually the car is sitting on a set of sweet AC Hydraulic jack stands.  I'll take this opportunity to say that these are by far the best set of stands I've ever had.  Yep, they are pricy, but well worth it.  Check out http://www.asedeals.com/jack_stands.html for the best prices.  Ultimate Garage carries them too, but I've made a promise to myself to never line his pockets again!!

Ah yes the "junk car law".  I'll have to scan that article so I can share.  It is quite funny.
