walk away

[Tony Hoffman]

Love the 240's. And, the 740's even more. My son is 14, and in about a year
and a half, I'll be buying a 740 for him for a first car. Unless he decides
to buy his own. But, I think he'd rather spend his money on the 1970 Honda
350 ;-)

BTW, the 4000q is also non-interference, and I love that about them.
