come on guys, give em' a break...
they are really cuttin' everyone a break here. If you want a TB THAT bad,
call Jules and he'll be more than happy to tag you with a $300 TB that
does the same thing. I drive an 88, and I don't even have the option of a
$90 TB. Just relax, you all will get your TB's in due time. No one is
gettin' ripped off here...
flameproof and ready to rock =)
