So Close

**Bill Howell** · 08-14-2005

That's right, I was so close to getting the lowdown on John Parson's car yesterday, but he caught me just in the nick of time. I feed him supper the get on his good side, then he offered to show me the car. However, just as I was getting the door opened, he noticed Melinda standing there with a camera. That guy really don't like cameras.

Seriously, John stopped in Knoxville on his way home, had supper with Melinda and I at Hooters, and then let me look at the beast. It is truelly a one of a kind car, excellent craftsmanship, unique one off parts, and killer paint and body work.

Like some others around here, he is a bit touchy about pictures at the moment, so sorry, only the one attachment. I promise though, you will appriciate it when you do see it in person. It is hard to imagine how low this car sits.

Nice job John and great to finally meet you.
David, you and the guys did a great job on the body and paint. You should be proud of yourselves.

I am sorry you missed the car too Ron. It finally quit raining after you left. At least now, you can put a face with the name. Good to see you too, how did the birthday party work out. We gotta get ole Li on this board too.

The car is now safely tucked into its little spot in my garage, and Brian has his big-ass trailer back. I managed to get them both back without incident. Now I can sleep again.

Bill, it was good meeting you and Melinda. Good dinner and good company. I'm still trying to figure why such a gorgeous babe like Melinda would be with you. Did you kidnap her or something?

The boys at Road Killer did "Killer" work on the paint and body. It is flawless and razor-sharp. Just incredible! Keith, Terry, and David deserve all the kudos I can give them.

Now it's time to finish this thing!

You see, I slip this little pill in her OJ every morning.

I did do good getting her, she is a babe and lets me have my toys too!

<--- Melinda
I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy! This is my daily ritual to her!

I think it's the wallet.....

**Bill Howell** · 08-15-2005

LOL, that is too funny. She is the one with the money, I spend all mine.
Believe me, she married me at the absolute low point, financially in my adult life. I truely can not answer the why she did it question, I still wonder myself after 14 years.

**Marty G Cars** · 08-16-2005

John doesn't know it, but David snuck me into the shop to snap some full color photos that will be released on the black market to the highest bidding magazine.

Get this - the car is actually GREEN.

Of course with all that has been invested into II MUCH what other color could it be.

Sorry John, the pressure got to me and I sold out.

We've all seen it, you may as well go ahead with the debut!

**Bill Howell** · 08-16-2005

Well, I was the last to see it and it was white.
No wait,

Sorry, back to sleep..........

No one appreciates my jokes!
I will go stand in the corner now.

The color is going to be black correct? No, was it green?, no white, I remember now, blue, like superman!.

Roger,
I liked your joke. The problem is that it was a little too close to home. Bill spent much of the 80s as a patient at Belleview. He is doing much better on his new medication.
