Talk about young kids, it's been a year or more since we heard from Joey. I
think he was the 14 or 15 yr. old with the Tiger his disabled father had
passed on to him. He was all excited about the car,but when he got his
driver's license I think he wanted something different. I think it was some
kind of a "rice burner" or something. Joey, you still out there?
