<VV> Corvair brakes and off-roading adventures

[Ramon Rodriguez III]

Not at all, I was happy to see my photo used on your page.  I doubt any
other photo I've ever taken was worth someone stealing =P.  The ex tried to
make me erase the photo off the camera card when I took it... she was not
happy to have her mishap documented at the time, but she later posted it on
myspace or something.
