    I bought it this time last year, after I saw some other pictures of your car, I figured that if we were both at cruise night one day, my car better be as nice as yours is underneath. I bet its been awhile since either of us has had a Maverick at a cruise night :)

    13 members including myself should put in 50.00 each, purchase one and use it on a share basis. I mean how many times are you gonna use this. I'd be happy to rent one for a portion of the cost of one.

    Just an idea
