I would, nice workspace and always offers me a beer too.  Only downside is if 
my car is really fuxored towing from DC to Delaware is a bitch. ;)  and I can 
hitch a ride from the other shop to work, I don't know anyone that I work 
with that commutes past your place...  not your fault about the bracket, if I 
had borrowed a jack and actually crawled under the car I would have caught it 
myself.  kinda hard to see peering through all the cables 'n' hoses though....

later
