[4dfide]

1. i believe it was the '96 tour that went to MT Clemens that i drove my prostreeter with new complete driveline with 4:56 gears and made it with no problems. then drove it to canada on Sunday for coffe and donuts and the Canadian police at the border just kept looking at the car and shaking their heads
2.standing 10 feet from Linda and Ken when they announced their name for the Chevelle.
3. TA Man ,myself,MIKEE ,Cheaps,Leon and a bunch more who came up with the "Forum Freaks " concept and met in Milwaukee for the 05 tour .What a blast. Thats where i introduced TAman to "beer brats" and he still cooks them that way.
4 BratFest at MIKEE's place (2 yrs) what a blast and the greatess host around. Linda taking pic of my 5 yr old leaning against bumper and well , we had fun with that right Linda?
5. Taking my son on the long haul in '07 and meeting Fred and Dave and all the "FReaks"
6. Calling leon while driving next to him and watching him scramble to find his phone
7 driving through Kentucky on two lane roads. Hell driving anywhere on tour on two lane roads
8. Meeting Bobby Cleveland from Sta-Bil and finding out he works for my next door neighbor.
9 . Travelling with Dave, Penny and Fred , Vickie and Matt breaking down with my Vette and they hung back and chased down the parts . Ed and Mary stopped by to help and a few more Freaks.Changed water pump , fan in less than two hours on the side of road including getting parts. That my friends is what power tour is all about. FRIENDS FOREVER ! you know ,the kind of friend you hardly ever talk to throughout the year and you get with them on tour and its like you've been neighbors all your life
10. i'm sure it will be on this years tour

1.) Taking the Corvette (sorry) down to the start of PT several years ago, and having it up to 165mph passing 2 semi's (seeing/knowing they would not pass one another other) and then getting pulled over - but NOT getting a ticket. After asking me where I was going (car show in TX) and checking my driving record (pretty clean) the officer said he didn't see me, but a "white blur" was reported, and he figured it was me...

2.) Taking my son and two step-sons with in my (at the time) Marina Blue '66 Chevelle SS396. Just a guys road trip, in a car extremely similar to my fathers 1966-67-68 daily dariver - Marina Blue Chevelle SS396 that he bought now.

3.) Too many more to cover...

Unfortunately, I think my most memorable Power Tour experience is going to be this year and it's not going to be a good one. I get the pleasure of watching everyone leave out of Detroit and then I get to go home.

PT 2010 in a 73 /401 Gremlin. Every small town had somone saying ... had one of those.
They stopped us going into Springfield to take pictures. Best of all geting the Gremlin in the PT coverage in the October 2010 Hot Rod.
See you in 2012 with a 62 Rambler Classic SW.

This is a memorable moment, Not a good one but memorable. This happened on the 2010 tour. The man and his son getting in an accident ant the father passing away. I will never forget that. But on the same note the BS family and sponsors stepping up to the plate and doing the right thing for the young man who lost his father.

Jim - that was Jamey Anderson - 47 yrs old in his 69 Camaro - Rett got the family hooked up with Painless Performance who popped for a bunch of them to go to SEMA gratis, and Rett also got Chip Foose to do a commemorative T-shirt. I just put a neat sticker on my truck today for Jamey - Cruising in Heaven.
