We stopped by the Kansas City Assembly Plant today on the way home -- nine years and sixteen days after it was built. I was hoping they gave tours of the plant, but they don't, except for special groups or something. So, I just settled for a bunch of pictures instead. It was shift change when I was there, and a couple of guys walking by said they liked the car, so that was pretty cool. They make Escapes, Mariners and F-150s there now. I'm going to take a tour of the Harley-Davidson plant in town here tomorrow. Marty 98 SVT, Black, No. 786, May 7, 1997.

Thanks! Hey, we coulda had a KC mini-meet last night! > car looks awesome too > Car still looks clean as heck too man. The car does have some bugs on the front, but fortunately they don't show too much in the shots -- at least at this size. We had a thunderstorm last night, so the car's dirty-looking now. Gotta hit the car wash down the street. > You've definitely made great use of your 2 weeks off! Yup, just tryin' to get the most outta the trip! > what are you a day away from home now? I'm still prolly three days out, 'cause I'm not gonna leave here 'til this afternoon. Maybe make it to Denver tonight, but could end up stopping sooner. > wow. i think Marty will be the only CEGer that everyone on CEG will have actually met at one point or another. Hmmm. There's an idea! > Radio to tower, radio to tower.... Come in tower. LOL! Got radios? Well, time to pack up and head to H-D! Marty 98 SVT, Black, No. 786, May 7, 1997.
