    OH, and the one thing the staff know is that we are pretty good at keeping ourselves amused. The 500 comment record-breaker comes to mind along with any number of wandering and heavily linked/illustrated threads. It's great when the inmates get to the run the asylum, even for a little while.


    So, no, don't worry Ray! Everything will be just fine. Have a nice time! We won't break anything! No wild parties. Promise.

The brakes squeal for several minutes if depressed more than 2/3 of the way from speed, there's random spots of surface rust on the hood where a giant dent was mostly-repaired, and the suspension is soft enough that I can Rock The Boat at traffic lights by letting off the brakes and applying 'em a half-second later.
