> Why I love my V8...

What...?  Someone wondered...?

Man, merely to *drive* a V8Q has to be one of the truly great joys of all
motorheadom!  The closest thing to a 4-door 928 that exists!!!

Sweet!  I, however, am now known as "Mr. Speedlimit" these days.  Paying
$10,000 for a speeding ticket often has that affect...  It certainly has, on
me.  I simply cannot afford another ticket of any kind, at least until this
one drops off my record on August 8th, and my insurance rates go down to
merely astronomical.

Of course, then it will be like getting a $3000 raise in my annual income...

Congratulations!!!  And I'm sorry that I wouldn't have been home, if you
had!  I had an offer from a Lady in Nashville (a 7 hour drive at the speed
limit, even tho it's a mere 450 miles), and I was there from Tues until last
night!

Yes, that *is* a *big* smile on my face.  And not from driving the porker
450 miles at legal speeds, either.  It looks like I'll be splitting my time
between Pensacola and Nashville for a while.

I might even start looking for another V8q5.  If only I could find a way to
haul it behind the bus wheels-down...

Bart
