Awesome! btw - Tell Andy that based on your review that just as soon as my F56 is out of warranty I'll be bringing it to him (I'm in San Mateo).

I have heard people say he is honest, courteous and knowledgable. But, I am seeing it for real. (Thanks Andy)

Thank you all again for your support. I couldn't have swallowed the $15K shock without you all here.

Thanks
Rock on! Awesome!

I told him...He is very down to earth and humbly thanked me.
