That offer comes "supersized" with a large dog and a firstborn on the side,
though Getty has first dibs on the dog. The firstborn comes as a package,
complete with multiple uncompleted VW projects, consider it, he's good with
wiring as long as it's all white av grade....he'd be like the dog in
Montreal, he'd head out, get distracted, vanish for long periods of time,
eventually wander back all muddy and worn out...:)

Yeah, but please do take that one for a spin, I don't offer it to everyone
eh?
