Hey, I guess that apology wasn't really complete: By "...without ever
having a moment's trouble" I was referring only to wheel slippage. Didn't
mean to imply that I've had no "adventures"! I've certainly had at least
my share of those! Totaled engine @ 50,049 miles, blown transmission seal,
blown transmission, "exploded" final drive, vapor locks, fuel pump
failures, etc., etc.. But only that one wheel spinner! :---)
