Yes, a few weeks back at DEN Thrifty. She also asked what we would be doing (skiing), whether my family was with me (yes), etc. I considered it time-killing small talk. Maybe she was casing me....

(1) Renting them, taking out the engines & replacing them with regular Mustang 289s;
(2) Taking them to the race track and competing in them!!
I've seen pictures of 350H's where roll cages had been welded in and then cut out before being returned.
