[Spridgets] was Phil Hill, now Burt Levy-reading family members

[Wm. Severin Thompson]

Hell, I'm in one or two of those books.

Also, you know Burt is "the ride mooch" and drives everyone's race cars? He
drove my old Red Rat Bastard one lap at Road America and got out of it,
muttering it was the worst, most diabolic handling POS he's ever driven.

Wow - One Spridgeteer wife and now a daughter reading Burt?  I thought I was
doing well to raise a gear-head son in today's world of video gamer kids.
You
guys rock in your ability to find spouses and ability to raise kids! 
 
My wife loves to drive fun cars and like me refuses to own anything with an
automatic (She drives a 2005 Mini Cooper).  She really isn't interested in
going with me to events or reading about cars, though.  I've always
considered
myself lucky to have found her - not to mention somehow convincing her to
marry me...  Glad to see there's hope out there for my son to do as good or
better than I did.
 
By the way - I wear my "Do you know Buddy Palumbo?" button to every car show
and cruise night I attend.  Occassionally it starts a cool conversation on
the
books.
