So they give Jr a tour of the bridge of the carrier....Jr walks right up to the helmsman and says, "hey sailor, if you need to take a break I can drive this thing, can't be any worse than that HMS pos I drove the other day...."

Sorry........

I would have loved to been a fly on the wall for the Monday morning meeting at HMS.

I was really surprised at all the naysayer articles about why Jr should NOT have done that. What a load.

If someone were to ask Dale Jr, "How bad have you got it?"....what do you think he would say?

"Well, I'm having my go-cart track resurfaced, does that count?"

BTW, had to take my vehicle back to the dealer today - again. They said it was fixed. Same issue. What crap.

I'll give the service rep credit, when I called him this morning and said, "Who fixed this thing? Stevie Ray Wonder?" He laughed. I said, "Don't laugh, when I bring the vehicle back I might forget about the right turn into the service area and just continue driving right on into the show room area!"

Without hesitation he said, "no problem, I'll let the boss know we got a hot one coming in and we need more vehicles in front of the show room windows!"

That made me giggle.
