No, but I've seen a Transue there (in your dept too I believe) when doing
searches on the web etc. You can bet with a name as weird as ours that
somehow we're related! Tell him you spoke (at least electronically) w/
another Transue. Bound to freak him out!

Aewsome. Both are within driving distance of work. I'm trying to find a good
mechanic who can fix my oil leak problems (front & rear seal appear to be
leaking, not head gasket), and since this will require a drop of the engine,
I'm preparing for the worst cost wise!!.
