Lee - Just wanted to say THANK YOU for continuing to post not only great cars, but a wide variety of interesting and entertaining factoids and topics. This is my go-to thread on a daily basis and you never disappoint....so again, THANK YOU and keep it going.

Your kudos are greatly appreciated. To tell you the truth, it's as much fun for me looking for things to post on this thread as it is for you to see those posts.

Here's to the next 15,000 posts! :naughty:
