get well,

it worries me so much the speed and wreaklessness people drive at.. i still have lap belts in my bug and these newage drivers don't drive right and run up or over you if you are'nt " going " a faster speed then them.

revolt drive with pride and swiftness. great to hear that you rode this out and both are safe and sound.

peace Joe aircooled and watercooled :)
