Never been to a Tiger Run. I did meet Jim Wangers in 2008 at a small Pontiac show in Madera, California, which is in my "backyard". He signed the protecto plate for my '65 GTO, commented on my '67 GTO convertible, and signed a copy of Glory Days, which I bought. I told him I'd been wanting to meet him for over 30 years, which was true. I found him to be absolutely charming and gracious, and a Car Guy to the core. I thanked him for his contribution to The Great One, and told him I appreciated him taking the time to come to such a small local event. But that says it all about the man. He cares about these cars and he cares about the people who restore, own, and drive them. To me, the fact that he was a little "slippery" back in the day when he was promoting these cars is A-OK. Part of the game, and part of history, now. Heck, if there were no Riger GTO's, think of how DULL this thread would be!!! Great stories from all yu guys out there, and keep 'em coming. Man, Don, you sure put poor JW in a spot.....
