    Great! Now you fix the link after I cut and paste the big honkin' line to my browser.

    Car has a good sound. I'm proud of the way you kept yourself out of the picture so as not uglify the car.

    Glad to be back on here again!! Nope, haven't forgotten about y'all.....just been ridiculously busy for months now and my computer was down about half the time along with that. Fired mine up today....first time in several months. It's hard to believe how good I feel when I'm behind the wheel of that little car....I'm glad you're goin' again!! You take care!! Preston

    I was going to be funny and say "nice sounding lawn mower, now lets hear the car", but I will not do that to you cause it really sounds too sweet to goof on.(y)
    Congrats!
