It's all about Cubic $$$$'s RIGHT ALLEN!!????
Great to see ya here on the 'Mater'....! It was awesome to see you and Pop's win here in Denver..(I had a great seat for that final round...On the starting line...) and your a pretty damm good poker player for a rookie (at the Children's Speedway Charity Poker Tourny in Vegas....)
Just for giggle's...If a guy was going to build a Kick A$$ A/DA in comp eliminanator, and wanted to lease a Roy Johnson Hemi Bullet how much would it run????(Talk about a record waiting to be broken!! That Mopar power would be awesome!) See ya in Vegas AJ!
Timmah!
Farmers are in the same boat.... or truck.
Actually, I think farmers may be in a boat that has more holes. A very small number of companies (look at the small print on the labels and Con-Agra will be one that pops up quite a bit) that produce canned goods and ready made goods under a very large assortment of labels basically control what is produced and what farmers can get credit from the Farm Bureaus to plant and are told how much to plant, what to plant and when to plant it.
Because of this we have mono-cropping on a large scale and we are depleting our topsoils. Some farmers have turned to organic production, but the large companies are getting into this too, in part because they already have all the systems in place.

I just happened to see a brand new Cobalt from Haas sitting in an unnamed P/S shop this past Monday.
Is that Kurt Johnson's new Cobalt?

So another $4000 for a carbon fiber body....Five Star gets $10600.00 for a Cobalt Body with the Spoiler. Windows are $1000.00 more. ...
Sorry,I can't say but yes it was.![]()
Next time you visit them hopefully they will have the vinyl on the car... If so, ask if you can take a photo and show us the new shiny toy...

God love ya, Allen!...that what makes it the best class for the real car enthusiast(gear head)!!!
I am still waiting for my Customer Satisfaction Survey to show up in the mail...the Passenger side window has a slight wistle at 200 MPH and it shakes some times under acceleration.
Funny thing is for mere $700.00 less than a Five Star Body with Windows I got a brand new Cobalt from Polar Chevrolet here in White Bear Lake. Power everything, with Rims, Tires, Paint, ECM, Motor, Exhaust, Automatic, and Air Bags with Anti-Lock. Can't find the 3rd Member and there is no Laundry to pack. The Windows don't wistle at 200-145=55 MPH and as hard as I have tried I cannot get it to shake the Tires...has a little torque steer however...
