One time I was meeting with the neighbors about limiting the hours at our drag strip and the number of events featuring jet cars, etc. I used the old "we were here first" analogy and was not so politely reminded that the Indians were here first and look what happened to them. When the government is your opponent,... you WILL lose.

I'm sorry, you built a subdivision around a dragstrip that was there earlier, pound sand! We where here first!

I'm sorry to jump in and get on my soap box however, I have a issue with this. This is the sole reason we are losing places to race, the developers move in and came the land is worth so much more......

We were just talking of building another car (or, buying - must have a third pedal) and not on your life.

I am so ready to pull out of SoCal I cannot see straight.

Sorry, just venting.
