But ......but.....but...that Camry comes with one of these



And you know you want it! How to keep it running might be an issue since some of the parts are NASCAR proprietary stuff. And if you don't have a licensed team, you can't have the parts.

I don't walk as fast as I used too....

I'm also not working as much either...

This must be what retirement is like....

Getting around better....only working today rest of the week off...had a bunch of travel time built up from last week that carried over to this week...

I'm finding out what it's going to be like having a job while drawing social security....except it with work comp payments

707 hp supercharged 6.2 and a 526 hp flat plane crank 5.2, with factory warranty.....I would be good. a factory hot rod will always be worth more, more reliable and more collectable....imo

I don't know what you're talking about. Work and less don't belong in the same sentence

Spent the last 2 1/2 hours finding the Family Farm on Google Earth, It was pretty complicated since there isn't a physical address. Went off my memory of 11 years and followed the roads until i spotted it. Dad wanted a good Ariel view of it since he doesn't think he will be able to go back. Just kinda a keepsake thing.

He got ahold of all the kids to see who wants to keep it, only thing is whoever want's it has to pay off the other kids to have 100 percent ownership of the farm (even though we will still have access to it whenever we wanted). He's giving whoever 5 years to pay the other kids their share. I would love to be able to keep it but the money i would have to be out in those 5 years paying the others off is going to hurt. Only good thing is its appraised 3 times more than what the kids are going to get so whoever owns it will have a nice property.

Its a Beautiful place, 99 acres in the blue ridge mountains of Virginia. Has a 1960's home with 4 bedrooms 2 baths, Rights across the house is the house my dad was born in, then behind the house is 3 barns from the 1920's and the Family Cemetery. Yes when one of the relatives die we just bury em the back yard (basically)

I'm in Charlottesville, VA, right now -- what town is it located near? It sure is pretty up here with all the mountains and everything being so green! Also, I had to laugh -- driving today I noticed a piece of country property with a well-maintained double-wide on it and it looked to me as if someone had just been buried in the backyard next to an older tombstone that said "Dad"......

It's In Woolwine, trying to think of a bigger town it's near and that's kinda hard 15 miles from Stuart and 35ish miles from Martinsville.

People look at me like I'm crazy around here when I say we have a family cemetery behind the house. Very common up there.

That's a beautiful area Coy...not too far North of the N.Carolina line. Wife's sister lives in Frederick, Md. and when we drive we usually take I-81 which is a beautiful ride for people who have no mountains in their home state. Sometimes we'll stay in Gordonsville,Va. on the way back at one of our timeshare locations.
