Moparal,
I feel for ya, I'm on the other side of the coin, I have little or no extra parts. Seems like when I do get some, no one seems to need them. Oh well.
Me I enjoy driving ( except for the paying for gas part. ) If your travels ever bring you near Dayton, OH, let me know, maybe I can tag along for part of the trip to keep you company and turn a wrench or two.
P.G.
