AZKat,
I love the story about valley freeway driving. It's been 10 years since I was back home driving on those freeways. I miss it horribly. ( I know that makes me nuttier than a fruitcake, but that's the way it is.)
That's a really nice machine and to get told you'll get first call for any other machines make you a very lucky person. I'm envious.
Joe
