  10. LOUISVILLE, Ky. – With the help of a $250,000 reward, the founder of the Papa John's pizza chain has finally reunited with the muscle car he sold years ago to help keep his family's business afloat. John Schnatter sold the gold-and-black 1971 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 for $2,800 in 1983. The money helped save his father's tavern in Jeffersonville, Ind., and he used the rest to start what would become a worldwide pizza business. But he still missed his beloved Camaro and spent years searching for it. He created a Web site on the search, held promotional appearances and eventually offered $250,000 to whoever found it. It turns out he didn't have to leave Kentucky, where the pizza chain is based in Louisville. The car only changed hands twice from the original buyers, ending up with Jeffery Robinson in Flatwoods, about 165 miles to the east. "When I first saw it I still wanted to look it over to make sure it was the car even though I knew it," Schnatter told The Associated Press. "That kind of hit me emotionally. I was kind of numb." The original buyers of Schnatter's car heard about the search when he appeared in a TV interview before an NFL game this month. An online search led them to the car blog Jalopnik, which has followed the search and tipped off Papa John's. Robinson, who bought the car about five years ago for $4,000, recently delivered the Camaro to Schnatter, earning the $250,000 reward. The original buyers will get $25,000 for their help tracking it down. Schnatter says it looks very much the same as it did when he sold it in 1983, but with a larger motor and fatter tires for drag racing. The car will be displayed at the company headquarters in Louisville, replacing a replica Schnatter commissioned while he searched for his original car. In honor of the reunion, Papa John's planned to offer all Camaro owners a free pizza at stores on Wednesday. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090826/ap_on_...papa_john_s_car ------------------------------ I think that is a great story how he sold the car to help his business and it succeeded. Then he was able to get it back after all those years. Makes ya not worry so bad about selling your stuff when it's for the right reasons. Things always seem to work out in the end.
  11. I saw those added front steering axle trailers a couple years ago at the sand sports show. Pretty trick! You have quite the setup now. New pusher, kickass stacker, new long travel rail, ....etc. Congrats, Paul. Next season should be kickass.
  12. Just cause you didn't see it doesn't mean it wasn't used. It was in G with it a handful of trips.
  13. seems like a great camera especially for the price! Congrats Justin. Looking forward to seeing some pics. Man, I need to get out and do some more shooting soon. I haven't done anything pic worthy in a while and am jonzen.
  14. sorry I even showed you this today, Jim. LOL
  15. I dunno if there is much difference between brands, but my head hurts now after trying to figure out if you were talking about gas vs. diesel or what. I was thinking, damn dude how the hell is your Dmax even still running on gas?

  17. I just now saw this post and remembered you called the other day about this. Sorry, Ash. Forgot to call ya back. lol I don't know of any independent shops. That place you mentioned on Dean Martin (Industrial) is the only place I have ever heard of. Wasn't it like J&S diesel or some chit?
  18. I know the feeling all too well, Chad. Like I told ya yesterday though...you gotta seat in my buggy until you heal up. That way you can still make some trips. We'll just bring ya out a few extra cases of beer. Monkie will probably gladly ride your badass Raptor in the meantime. Let me know if you need anything. I'll make the drive to BFE for whatever.
  19. Free Agent used to go by yfzdad on the board. He changed his name. You are correct, Pat. It's pretty much a given that a meet & greet is every Sat at 2pm on a holiday weekend at the south pole. Hell, some people still make it a tradition even on the off weekends to still go out. Ya never know who might just show.
  20. Got her all buttoned back up this morning. No more rat townhouse! :B
