There were some broken parts now and then. But boy it sure was fun watching everyone's

I know it is wishful thinking but you have to have something to shoot for. Considering
my dakota is an auto I think that maybe low 14's would be ok.
But since I have already spanked a stang gt from work, I guess that was good enough as
well.
Got to go
