If I only had my Brother's Luck...
Well, If I had my brother's luck my car would not be near stock. It would be atleast a 12 second monster!
He's what the little bastard (well he's 20 years old but younger than me) did. He and his buddy get some beers in them and he gets a little drunk. Ok...it was more than a couple beers (He's 280 lbs)  .He then goes to the local casino. Starts off with $100. He plays a while and get's up to $300. Being drunk (and luckiler than a Leprechaun with horse shoes up his a$$) he bets all $300 on one hand. He wins So then he bets the whole $600 in one hand (the original $300 and the $300 he just won) The little f**ker walks out with $1200! The sad part is that he does this ALL the time. Maybe not winning this much, but he always wins a couple hundred bucks. Do you know how much I could do to my car with $1200 every couple of weeks?!?! Man if I had his luck... ------------------ Driving: 1998 F-150 Far way in Edmonton==>  1995 Mustang GT |

I once got 5 out of 6 in the Texas Lottery. That paid about $1100. I never saw a penny that went to my '66 coupe. Fancy dinners, celebration, etc., etc. Oh, well, the joys of holy matrimony. I do have 2 sons and a couple of grand children though. I'm happy, but could use some TFTW heads, LOL.

The little bastard won another $400 last night. He makes me sick. I know there's risk involved but still...

Dude,
If he's winning that much, he has to be a good player. What game is he playing? If this is not the case, then I guarantee you his luck will eventually run out. Casinos are not built for people to come in and win. ------------------ Jeff Kane 1990 LX Mustang ex-5.0 Coupe No engine. No transmission.

He plays Blackjack. I know that Casino's are not designed to win, as an engineer I know all about statistics and probabilities. I all honesty he is a very good player, the little bastard does have horseshoes up his a$$!

You could always give him $100 of your money and see what happens.
But if your luck is like mine, Murphy's Law will take effect and it will be his only time losing, lol. Then the next night he'll go back w/ $50 of his money, and make $500. Ohh well, some people just have it. ------------------ 2001 SVT Lightning (red): Many mods to come- Let the Vette killer begin to take shape 1997 Thunderbird 4.6L: Dynomax exhaust, Mustang intake tube, SVT Lightning 80mm MAF, Accufab MAF adapter, 7" Auto-physics powerstack filter, ram air, B&M 24,000GVW trans cooler, Custom chip, FMS 9mm wires, many more to come...
