how many here from MN

It's cheaper, quieter, and I can drive my cars with plenty of options for little to no traffic. I'm glad I grew up in the cities, but I'm happy I moved out of them.
Agreed! We grew-up just a few miles from each other, but there's NO WAY I would drive my trucks around Wayzata anymore.

Out here, though: "Be right back, honey. Gotta go burn the carbon out of the Old Gray Mare!" (My wife's name for my '68 F250.)

Hope Bazza's making a speedy recovery.
Thank you so much, and we do as well! He's making slow but steady progress, and I still want to get him, and the car, on a Power Tour someday.
