"I just don't want to die without a few scars, I say. It's nothing anymore to have a beautiful stock body. You see those cars that are completely stock cherry, right out of a dealer's showroom in 1955, I always think, what a waste." --Tyler Durden from "Fight Club"
It's funny how this was the quote going through my head as I listened to the scraping and crashing sounds on our trail run. I feel like went from novice to old pro in one day. Learning how to winch with two other Sportsmobiles and Tom Severin was a great experience as was taking a pretty challenging trail ride. My thanks to Kelly and Alan for attending. I would not have had the courage to do what we did if you guys weren't there. Yes, I admit, there was some "puckering" going on at times. Thanks also to Tom for leading such a great class on both days. I highly recommend him and his classes.

It's nice to see that there are other people that enjoy Desert Pinstriping as much as I do.
