Might have named it Swordfish 3 ...

Hey, Mezevenf - I might have named it the "Swordfish 3" if it were one of the red ones ... lol ... (nice to run into folks who know Bebop). No, I thought briefly about naming it the "Falcon" - because when I got it home I kept replaying Han Solo's line in my head - "She may ...

eBay rocks!

HEY x-rad: Yes, this is an eBay vehicle ... although sometimes I hesitate to tell people because of the funny looks I get ... actually the second eBay vehicle I've purchased in the last year, and both experiences have been just fine.

Thanks for the tip ...

Murray: Thanks for sharing your opinions. She is my first Italian, and I am definitely head-over-heels! I am not too concerned one way or the other with overall "volume" - so much as I am with the "tune it plays" ... if it sounded like SPeed Racer's Mach 5 I would be just fine! :...
