[DeTomaso] Too short

[Asa Jay Laughton]

  Shelley has driven mine several times.  When traveling to Las Vegas, 
we've shared the driving about 50-50.  She claims the stock seats are 
very comfortable; enough so that she mostly sleeps when I drive but 
manages to stay bright-eyed when -she- is driving.  Must be something 
visceral about -driving- a Pantera huh.  :)
