Kevin - Perhaps our wives are related. Mine wanted a D of her own, so we got one for Valentines day last year. She spent out anniversary working under the transmission. I have no complaints either...

Next on Dr. Phil" I was faced with selling my DMC but opted to take a loan instead. My car is hocked but it's still mine-ish (I do need to pay back the loan, apparently). Secured loans get favorable rates and this is a sub- optimal sellers market. Gus/4695 On Jan 14, 2009, at 12:23 AM, therealdmcvegas wrote: > My wife is on me to get 6585 up and running...
