Welcome Brian!  Glad to have you and what sounds like a nice car.  Now,
you have to get out and meet some listers so we can better make you

Again, welcome.  I'm first in line for your car, right?

AKA Cheapass Ron

PS Older than most listers, but not near as old as you! ...unless you
retired really early  8^P
