    And that Jeep looks green from where I'm sitting...right?

    Nice luck, James.

    Thanks, gentlemen!
    Yes, lucky for the attendant indeed!
    However, the machine apparently locks up after a significant win.
    If I would have tried to continue playing or cash out, I would have noticed something was up,
    and if I would have started to walk away, I am sure I would have finally noticed the flashing light on top!
    Yes, Cy, the Cherokee is green!
    I think the Jeep's color is extremely close to the Dragon's.
    Perhaps just a shade lighter due to 4 years more exposure to the sun.
    I have been a bit hesitant to do any lift to the Dragon since one of it's attractions for me is the on road handling chrarcteristics.
    Not so with the Jeep.
    The other bonus is that there are so many parts readily available for the line,
    I should have no problem getting a significant lift on a budget!
    Best,

    Congrads, I always like to hear that someone is a winner at the casino.
    I know the Peppermill and have been there many times when I go skiing in Lake Tahoe.
    Best part of the story is that you took the money and ran, not like I do most of the time.

    Dude! That's awesome! Congrats on the winnings and on the new whip! Actually, the older Cherokees don't bother me so much, you know its those damn Wranglers I see everywhere that turn me off! Anyway, that's a sweet story! Maybe I should try my luck a little more often!!
