Hey Steve, what was the boat that you use to watch come in and out of the harbor as a kid wishing to own one day?

Ratman, I enjoy that boat chase in Miami Vice. Nothing like seeing two classic Scarabs.

Water is my peace in life. In it and on it. Liquid and frozen. I grew up on it (summers/weekends), drove to it all the time as a young adult, and have been living a few hundred yards away from it as an adult.

No matter what happens in my overworked / hectic life, I have water.

I will have my ashes spread on it.

Oh.........I bleed Chevy V8's..cars/ street racing /drag racing / boats....so...we know my choice of power. Wish my snowmobiles sounded the same. LOL.
