well, for what it's worth, i won't be putting the Cross away until I think Thanksgiving. My wife's old car is a 2002 Tribute with about 96K on it that looks like it just came off the sales floor, and when she bought her new one this summer we decided to keep it and put the Cross away for the winter, so i'd drive the tribute all winter. I was always worried that someone would smack me and i'd lose the Cross to the insuurance because its' value was so low. So having the Tribute is a real blessing for that reason. Anyway, it'd be fun to get together at Hooters, maybe at B'ville parkway and 35W if that's still open, when you get back from the Dragon, and regale us poor schmucks who couldn't go with tales of the tail.
