How cool! I'm sure his kiddos will enjoy that! Too bad El Paso is on the other side of the earth from the Houston area.....well, it might as well be.

 

[Kris]

I know you've already GPSd the drive, Kelly, admit it.

I got the press release about this in the e-mail today, but I didn't read it because I could've sworn I read it somewhere...an interview, or his blog, perhaps?

 

[Rob]

I'll be in the parade too Kelly... Truck and trailer just ahead of the car on a rollback. I'll try to get some pics.

 

[Kelly]

Sweet Robbie! Hope y'all have/had a great time!

 

[rocketman]

more great publicity for the sport!

 

[Toejam]

Does this mean the Brut Flopper will be in as well?

 

[Rob]

The car was in the parade also.... on a rollback. Would've been a blast to have it towed behind the dually but....

 

[Rob]

Found some video of the car in the parade. I haven't gotten home to upload the pics from my camera and I forgot my cable to connect to my laptop. Sitting here in DFW waiting on a connecting flight to Charlotte. Enjoy the video. The link is under the space man, marked Video Thanksgiving day parade

Way cool! Thanks for the link, Robbie! I loved the commentary on the audio. "That's Ron Capps! And that's his car!" lol

 

[Rob]

Along the whole parade route, 2.5 miles, All I heard was "take the car out!!!". 375,000 people on the streets. Unbelievable.

I would've loved to hear them Start it!

They made Ron ride in a Mustang?!

 

[Rob]

Best I could tell.... a local Ford dealer provided all the convertibles for the parade. At least it was blue to match the truck/trailer and car. Besides, does Dodge make a convertible?

 

[Kelly]

I bet Ron had a few choice words under his breath.......Karma strikes again!

 

[rocketman]

What else is really cool is Oregon State is going to be in the Sun Bowl after a big win over Oregon today!

It was Force's fault....Damn is he sneaky.

Yeah a Viper. $$$$

 

[Rob]

HOW in the world did I forget about the Viper being a convertible!!!! Shame on me.
