suburbansteve · 11-06-2006, 08:43 PM

Hey cal58 I used to live right behind CHS and then off of Minnewawa and Ashlan, but I just moved out by valley childrens hospital. You might have seen me around in a bright orange 82 blazer or my blue 77 suburban. But I still work in Clovis.

Heck, that's still not far. When I'm done and you see my truck at a local car show, come up and say hi.
