Default The Saturday drive was good luck!!!

Thanks to all the NorCal members who heartily welcomed us to the Saturday run. It was a spirited event with some stretches that were wide open throttle. Nothing like big horsepower rattling off the sides of the canyons!!! Cindi and I had a great time.
Now for the rest of the story!!!!
Cindi and I had plans to meet some friends at Harvey's so we left the group early to head into town.During the waiting time, Cindi gambled a little and I went to find the cigar shop. When I returned she had used up the cash and presented me with a chit from the slot machine worth a whole 25 cents. The obligatory "I gotta go to the bathroom" statement followed, with a " go ahead and play the quarter that I left you". How kind of her!!!
So I shopped around (smoking the cigar and drinking crown, of course) and found a likely machine. In goes the chit and I am good to go for a quarter. After the wheels spin for awhile they begin to fall into place.
The circle thing was the first tumbler to stop. The red seven was the second tumbler to stop and another circle thing was the third tumbler to stop.
I had hit a jackpot worth five hundred bucks with one quarter.
Now guys, ya gotta believe me that I am not much of a gambler and have never hit a jackpot worth over three gumballs. I just don't like to toss my money on a loser like slots.
It has to be the Nor Cal Cobra luck from participating in this drive. So if you ever get the chance to go for the cruise, who knows, you may be the one with the luck next time.

Mark & Cindi

P.s.: kicks some porsche a$$ on the way home!!
