Tom and Cheri,

Sorry to hear about Pigs' wierd paint condition. Maybe it happened when you guys drove through Area 51 on your journey West.

I'm glad they are repainting the whole roof. It makes me want to go check on Padre right now. We've had to park him outside for several weeks because the city is cutting down a tree at the base of our driveway and has torn up all the cement around the tree. Of course they tore up the concrete and then left the tree standing for two weeks! Hopefully, it will be done soon. We are getting boot and bonnet stripes (white w/ black trim) next week so they better get moving and pour some new concrete soon. We're thinking of painting the dash and armrests red with chrome details because we like the look of it on the 05s. I will probably also paint the three pronged armrest and not just the oval on the doors though. Red paint on the downtubes is still up for discussion.

Hope you get out of the behemoth soon and get back to motoring.

Cheers,
