It would also exclude discussions of untried combinations. I prefer to filter through the chatter rather than excluding bright (and maybe controversial) ideas from folks who are not included to do a swap themselves. I will agree that posters should declare if the opinion being expressed is from personal experience or just plain bench racing. Now ask me what came to mind when my brother pulled up in his nearly new 2000 Carrera Cabriolet. The left brain said "Wow! Babe magnet dump the Vanagons and buy one". The right brain drooled "Ummmm yummy. Donor car." BenT <A HREF="http://hometown.aol.com/bentbtstr8/myhomepage/index.html">Vanagon Cafe</A> |
