Hey Steve,

If it makes you feel any better, I recently sold a pile of parts to a guy 
who related to me how in 1974 he traded an original AC Cobra for a brand new 
Corvette. I couldn't help but laugh and that pissed the guy off. It wasn't 
my intent to laugh at the guy, I was laughing at the situation because back 
then who knew?
