    D-Nice came to me with a crazy idea to extend my club- Chrysler Collection – and start Grand Prix Collection (GPC) for short. He said “we’ll announce it by pulling up to the All Car Club picnic with a marching band.” I was skeptical but we ran with it, not sure the band showed up lol. So many memories: club trips to the dells, late nights at Washington Park, truth or dare, family dinners at members houses. He loved that GP and Collection members, years later he branched off to Most Hated with no hard feelings. Your memories and legacy will continue on.
