Huh? I don't see anyone saying kill the thread unless I missed something? I don't recall anyone saying they had no talent either? I personally just said I only watched it when I was bored becasue I don't like all the deals and multicar teams. I never said anything about anyone on this list being able to do it, though I suspect we could probably find one or two that could if they were so inclined and found the backing to get into a car. I don't much care that it is off-topic. How often do you go to a car show or even walk into a grocery store and see someone and talk about something other than cars or groceries? I guess next time that happens we should all stop and say, "NO, NO, we can't alk about little joey or Dale jr, it's off topic"... eh, fooey on that. -- Mark Price Morgantown, WV 1969 AMC Rambler, 4.0L, EFI, T-5 2004 Grand Cherokee Laredo, 4.7L, Quadratrac II " I realize that death is inevitable.
