I'll stick up for him... sort of. i remember him being on the list 3 or 4
years ago. "NOTAJEEP" really stood out. But what he does now, i dunno,
except he is ebay a bunch of stuff- which is not that bad. I'll replacing
and engine and will ebaying a lot of stuff pretty soon too. (want ANYTHING
from a 2.1L engine???)
