I see you're next door in VA, so next time you get a minute - do a rain dance and say a prayer that we get some much needed RAIN!! | |

Sure it sounds cool, but if too much air is coming out of a valve that's just too small, it's potentially harmful to ur car! :-o!!!!!!
Just be smart, GL with your car search!

Not to mention that I was always driving and going places seemingly every waking moment. Let's just say that looking back, I'm glad my father laughed off my Porsche aspirations and that I had to beg him not to trade in his old station wagon when he got a new one, so that I would have something to drive. I'm sure I got more dents, scuffs, and scrapes on that old wagon in my first 6 mos. of driving than I have in the last 30 years. | |
