Thanks for the positive replies. I won't be able to start for ~ a month. DTE is a "build-to-order" biz. Just ordering this round of mods has already begun to recharge my "permagrin".

Can you say, "It feels like a totally different car?" Because after those mods the car is going to feel like that.

Congrats!

Hi Chip,
That will be fine. Thanks. You gotta love corporate firewalls. I just wish it could filter all of the "investment" and "male enhancement" spam I receive at work.
