	I never took location into consideration.  I'm from Port St.
Lucie, Florida (where the N.Y. Mets have spring training)...And during
the weekend I go to Tampa Florida....Is that bad or good for the
condition of the bus?  :)

	Yeah, I think I should look into a running bus.  How much would a
Breadloaf in running condition that looks like crap cost me?  Anyone have
an idea?  I've been doing some shopping, but I'd like an idea.	

Thanks...
