Flaming is WAAAY over rated. Today's yout's have no idea what a
flame is/was. ( yes, I used to walk 5 miles to school in hip deep snow:
both ways <g>)
Thanks to you, Jon and the others who indicated there were
automatic tranny's before the REO style deuce. I assume they weren't in
service in the late 70's when I was in.
But back to being a butthead: if I ever even seem to act like
pride is worth more than knowing facts PLEASE feel free to kick me. If a
line forms just take a number.
