[DeTomaso] Gee, I wonder what Asa Jay did in his garage tonight.

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Well, looking on ebay, I found another set of Maserati air horns and 
there was a relay in the kit that looked just like the unidentified 
relay in my trunk.  I guess it was meant for the air horn and never 
used.  One more piece to take out of my trunk.
