[Dupree, Robert A.]  I was trying to remember what the order was of the   
numbers on the other '87 5000CS that was out there with me to try to find   
you!  Illinios plate B 54 632 or something like that.  Lots of fun   
cruising back with you; but I got a little carried away with that   
right-sided pass; but we did shut that annoying truck down...  Are you   
local down here?  We should go have a beer sometime!  Incidently I   
thought you were way ahead of me at the tollbooth, so I was trying to   
catch up with you!

Did that MI-plated 5KCSTQ have a stainless steel 4-ring tailpipe?   Bob,   
was
that you?  :-)
[Dupree, Robert A.]  Yup!  I thought for sure there was going to be a   
message about that cool muffler; but alas it came out a different way.   
 That Lotus drivers expression would have been nice to see.
