[DeTomaso] Oh happy days- AKA watch your backsides

[Larry - Ohio Time Corp]

Darrell,

You got to drive your car, something I have been waiting to do for a very
very very long time. You will get your car back and be driving before I
will.

Just think the car was not put together all that well the first time. It is
now time to fix all that.

It will be better tomorrow.

Hi Bill,

Thank you !  When I got home from the "incident", I kissed the wife, calmed
her down, hugged our greyhound and put the kitty to bed.  

Yes, I follow the list faithfully although I get the Digest and don't make
commentary that often (usually the timing is poor).  I know your car is
recently out of the shop.  If I were any where near Houston I'd give Shaun a
call but I'm half a country away in SoCal.  I have a good body man here but
he doesn't know Panteras specifically.  I've received a couple names of
"local" shops (that do know Panteras and are high quality) from others on
the list and hope to collect a couple more.  

I do appreciate your information.  Thank you !  

The people on this list are incredible.  I think I'm going to back up my
holiday to Thanksgiving and be so thankful for the people on this list.

Cheers to all !  Merry Christmas !

Darrell

  OK Darrell, now that you're home, had a couple of Valiums, and stopped
beating the dog.  If you're keeping up with the forum the past week, you
know that I just got my car out of the shop.
