Mail me the keys, you're close enough I can go down and drive it for you every now and then . I was stationed at Campbell back in the 70's, used to make "beer trips" home just to see how fast we could do it. 420 miles from gate 6 to a place called Moletties at home, best time ever? 3 hrs, 57 minutes. I miss the place, and miss the times as well.

Keep your head down, heck of a trade off there... drive a vette or blow things up. Too bad you can't do both at the same time huh?

I know how you feel. I still have 10 months left, and all I think about are my wife, and my 68.
