Holy shit, were scared now! This has got to be where our sparkling senses of
humor come into play. Flounder, Spike and I gratefully acknowledge you're
amazing powers of observation.

Oh, as you see, you have little choice when it comes to nicknames.
And, from what I've seen of the better halves of your crew, there's more
names on the way...

is always a sad tragedy to loose a car in a wreck. But ,it is a worse
tragedy to waste a great car to auto apathy. A book is not a book unless it
is read. A racecar is not a racecar unless it is driven, and our
racing/sports cars were built to be enjoyed and driven. To us at Southwind,
it is worth the risk of involuntary loss (mecha!

gawk but to learn, by all means take a look.
