[V8] Of Honeydews and unwanted hitchikers

[Lanier Pratt]

I was just reading your thread and noticed that you mentioned driving  
back
from Traverse City, MI.  I currently live in Minnesota, but moved  
here from
Lansing, MI. about 5 years ago.  My family still has a house in  
Omena, MI.
I've only seen one other V8 while I've been back over there  
visiting.  Sorry
to hear about your little visitor.  Hard lesson to learn.
