Well,no one answered this one,"Much To My Surprise!"

I'll give it a shot though. Nothing like waiting 1 day short of 3 years for an answer,huh?!!!

My best guess,Wes,is that more than likely it's one of his cars and I would think that if it symbolized anything in relation to himself,it would be that he may be older but he's still going strong and kind of like a car he wont stop moving until (and excuse how this is phrased) "someone shuts off the engine." For it seems like ever since he stopped having the standard form of musical success,he's had to keep proving himself over and over. Very soon,he'll have to prove it again when he finds a label,gets his next CD out there and shows that he can still put on a great show. Basically,I think it's simple symbolizm. So,it's been the B!

Catch ya on the flipside of Sundown!

(I can't believe I'm only the 2nd person on today!
