That sucks! Now's when they need that bullet train from vegas to LA. No frequent flier miles? America West (US Airways) and Southwest go into Burbank.

The Buford. Although I do want details on his Monte Carlo. Is that a production 350 or a Bowtie block? Heads? Crank? Or is it a 358?

I saw this at My Space. It may be a stretch for me to make it. I will be in Bakersfield (2 hour drive one way) all day Saturday testing the Monte Carlo and I have to spend some time with the family Sunday. I may be able to bring my oldest son since he is a new Buckethead convert as well.
