dusted off the turbo car

[Joe.Doty at lcnetwork.com (Joe Doty)]

Haha, calm down kids...I'll be using most of this stuff on the rabbit van (my brother's 77 with no rear quarter windows, "executive") except maybe the digifant which I may decide to abandon on someone's doorstep.

Actually it started with a small T3 and worked its way up to a t3/t04 that I got from a buddy.
