    Yea, your right, George would have been the guy. If you havnt been out here in a while, this area has really changed in the last 7-8 years. Theres about 4000 houses now around the golf course area (Rancho Del Lago). That steak house has gone under a major renovation recently and a buddy of mine says I wouldnt recognize it inside anymore (I think it actually meets code now....HaHa). I have to check it out again too. Anyway, glad I could jog a few brain cells for you.

    I was sure I found the guy in west Tucson from a Vail AZ forum member. You or Wayne O. Since you mentioned the Sonoran Corvette guys, I might have located them and George Lipphardt when we were considering Corsa Sports. Maybe you told me about George? And George told me about the west side Vette guru. Doesn't seem this way today, but when we moved to OV 12 years ago, we seemed as far NW and Vail is SE. Oracle Road is no longer the road to nowhere. 20 years ago, a friend of a friend lived on 5 acres in a double wide in Vail. We used to party pretty hard out there. Easy, wasn't much out there then. No neighbors to complain. Spent more than one night at the steakhouse out on the interstate. Ought to go back for auld lang syne. What a difference today eh? You didn't know the guy, but I think you got my mind right about where I found him. Thanks.
