Belle - As usual, Mr 5 0's original comments offer great wisdom and guidance. He also has a lot of great experience to share with a balanced view in the posts he makes offering advice - even beyond general car stuff.
Some times being blunt with your viewpoint can come off as being a prick (for a guy) or a you know what (for a lady), which is hard to avoid when you express your viewpoints bluntly/strongly only using text at times. But, with a well thought out post and careful wording it can be done.
In the past I've spoken with you quite a bit, and so I know you are generally a friendly person. Maybe blunt, but that's ok when done without malice.
Mean81GT - When Mr 5 0 talks I don't feel like my father's around, but I sure do wish I was as wise... I am an intelligent person, but I'd like his worldly wisdom to add to that
now too, instead of having to gain it slowly over the next 20 years; if, in fact, I am even lucky enough to gain it even then. When he speaks, I listen. His well balanced advice, excellent wisdom, and fair minded sense of justice is why I put him in charge of the Message Board quite some time ago now.
Geee - what a brown nosing post, huh?!
ahahahaha But hey, that's ok, I'd plug anyone the same that's also earned my respect as he has.
