At least one of the Denver area dealers is supportive of series ehicles.
LR Superior, which was LR Flatirons, invited a bunch of series to attend
their grand opening, and gave out free shirts or hats or something to
the ones who could make it. This is also the one that Charlie Hague(sp?)
works at. A different dealer wanted series rigs at it's 50th aniversary
celebration. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make either.
