[s-cars] Fumoto

[Tom Green]

OK, Bob, I apologize for the misleading post.  What I said was Marc was
implicating you in his misdeeds.  I am sure you are all aware of the 
additional
stress placed on your machinery.

The I75 route south is a popular route to Fla and one with few 
alternatives through this area.
A trip through E KY or E TN on other than interstate roads could be a 
treat that would make
a detour through WV  a real treat.  Get your car doctored by Dr Myers 
while you're there.  ;-)

Tom '95 S6  The TN DOT is opening one temporary lane southbound 
tomorrow with one
car and one truck lane northbound all on the east side roadbed (north).
