that sounds like a fitting name. i saw your thread with the tranny. i hope you get it all sorted out. ive found if something gets you pissed then forget about it for a few days then come back at it, always works for me.
good luck

Waultrad? Are you serious?!

Where do you come up with these things, Siduri? Waultrad? I never heard of that. How about Astrid? That's interesting, eh? Gretchin? Ugh.

My son has a POS 1990 Chevy van (a NYC car and looks like it) which he named "Castro." Don't know why. He names all his cars.

Since I have a 300D, an E300, and picking up another 300D the names help us identify them.
