Sidetracking the thread here but I think that you and I Mark live in good places. Heard this morning that Vancouver is the most congested city to drive in in North America. More so than LA, New York. Who would have thought? If I lived in Vanvouver that would drive me to buying a tiptronic.....
JD - sorry to hear that you are hibernating your yellow box. I will be thinking of you when I drive throughout the winter.....
