davescuda.... for some reason i never put "two and two together" to realize that the guy who an hour before had just left with the striped car that i was suppose to buy was "Dave" from here on FABO who passed away. that kind of makes me feel better even after all this time that Dave was the guy who i lost out to. i never met Dave but i did talk to him a couple of times about buying his white m car and he was always nice. it was your comment here that set off the bell in my mind that the "guy from up-state new york" was Dave. i'm glad to here the striped car is being worked on. all these cars that can be saved should be saved. hope you had a nice Christmas and best wishes to you for the New Year.
