I am sure that my statement will not be the first time someone has thought it, but may be the first time it has been publicly posted.

Ralph, you are a swill of negativism. How shall I put it? Maybe a "Debbie Downer with a d*ick" (well maybe with one). The amount of b*tching you post may disprove your gender portrayal as a male.

Why do you think you are so bitter? Don't we have enough bad circumstances & events occurring daily? This forum really doesn't need your constant complaining and/or pointing out of miniscule facts which irritate your obviously over sensitive psychological state.

So from now on would it be possible for you to be a little bit nicer or normal?
If not, maybe you could just shut the f*ck up.

By the way, I am completely willing to tell you in person.
This is not just keyboard confidence.

we are at SEMA, and commented to the family that I thought the COPO cars came with Goodyears, but all of them I have seen here have Hoosiers on them. Pattersons Husky car, the Vassar car, the convertible in the Chevy booth (it looks weird), and the serial no. 1 car coming out of the crate in the outdoor Chevy booth. I must have dreaming they came with Goodyears??????

Little known fact - they did the same thing with battleships!

The USS Wisconsin (BB-64) was launched before her sister the USS Missouri (BB-63).

And I don't think anyone really cared then, either.

Actually I thought it was good question myself...I thought that Chevy was very strict on who received one of these, as were other companies that built factory drag cars, but you still see some advertised for sale or heading to an auction somewhere's...and he does raise a good point as for the missing up of Copo Camaro's numbers coming out of the plant, and yeah they did do that in the past with other makes as well, but to claim it's the last one built then take to an auction to sell it and probably get a ton of money for it, well you see my point...

Yeah, they should have said # 69 is the last sequential number car...not the last one built.

I'm here on Long Island. I am fine. got power last night by Houston Texas crew working their tails off. I am thankful.
I am also glad to read about cars again, enjoy it, we need a little diversion. I did well in storm, but friends, a few lost everything. Long Island is a mess.
Be well, and enjoy SEMA, wish I was there...
