Speaking of Porsche guys, I like to tell them my bus and there Porsche
are almost the same car. Just like brothers. That pisses them off.

So, I am driving up to Eureka Springs to go bar hopping with Dave,
Brad and the beautiful Claudette. I was thinking, "jeez, there is a
bunch of vibration". I am thinking transmission, I donno. And the
steering is sluggish. I get to Eureka and a stop sign and I open the
driver's door and look down to see... a flat. %#@!
Well, since I ran in to the deer, and I have this oil leak, Murray had
been put away for the season until I got the call of coming to Eureka
for big fun. In for the season means that I have basically stripped
the interior...INCLUDING MY SPARE TIRE! And, since I have the wide 5
EMPI mags, I require a stud and nut system (Sammie knows) so to put on
a regular 15" spare I need stock lug nuts, which are attached to my
spare WHICH IS AT HOME. So Brad and Dave both came to the gas station,
where I had landed on a wing and a prayer, in their buses where we
figured out that I could use Dave's good spare and everyone had to
give up lug nuts to give me enough to get mobile. Phew!
The gas station guy, who watched the whole drama as we used the
bathroom to wash up or sold me Fix-a-flat, was fascinated, in an old
guy sorta way, that we had fixed and were on our way. That is not the
first time that spectators were amazed that we were fixed and had to
go, thank you.
We had a Porsche guys look at us and were also amazed that we were on
our way.
Bus people are different.//
