And on top of all that, Ed has to worry about a-holes like me coming to his
shop, drinking his beer, and bringing my SO along so she can see some
example of British cars she would miss out on. No doubt Ed is very acidic,
it's probably all my fault.
Seriously, Ed's a decent guy. He's been to my house and was very cordial to
my roommates. I even let him sit on the couch. I'd be willing to bet you
our sense of humor is different than his; no more no less.
