Three car clubs set my profile ID as whunter, and it became my general ID.

It is also easier to differentiate w than r, at a glance.




Have a great day.

Awesome! I was always thankful for all the DIY threads you had. I only wish I had more time to play with the car, and less time in OT!

We had 2 55,000 BTU heaters. I think we hit around 80 degrees, perhaps higher.

:EDIT:
You forgot to mention that we where forced to vent the garage every hour.
Freezing or roasting, with discomfort between..
