You beat Brian to the punch!! But I just got done detailing the undercarriage! I DID think what a nice surprise it would be if I showed up with it... and tried to envision a scenereo that I could justify driving it but I Hit a brickwall when I realized that the antique insurance I have on it wouldn't cover me for such an event. :-( I could change coverage but it's the ONLY vehicle I have on that policy right now so if I took it off they would re-evaluate me when I put it back on, and that isn't something that would be good.....
