Jeff... you actually balance your checkbook? I find this to be rather
difficult to do when I am buying so much stuff on the sly so the holder
of said checkbook doesn't know the horrible truth. Hey, its for her own
protection (good rationalization of it, eh? <g>).
BTW, my hobby is a bit worse than just MVs. Firearms, uniforms
(lotsssssss of uniforms), military vehicles, and military books all are
one big hobby. I mean, as if military vehicles weren't bad on their own!

>>
>> 3. The aforementioned Monte Carlo does NOT get parked in the garage,

>>
>> 7. Slightly mildewed canvas smells GOOD to you.
>>
>> 8. You think your neighbor's 4wd Magnum V8 longbed crewcab is "cute",
