dennis, many thanks. i'm a good friend of amx1397 (jim) and know i'll enjoy this new ride. looks really interesting in the garage next to my vette, lol. knew it was a bit smaller, but never realize exactly how much smaller, LMAO. having fun with it so far. looking forward to gaining all the information that is shared here at the forum. i've been a member for a short while before actually finding this car to buy and have been looking around and reading, etc. loads of information and what appear to be great people willing to share it. thanks.
