    It would be nice and I've thought about it but I like the reliability of the stock 525 and I'm happy with 80s. It's rarely safe to run 100 on the Great Lakes anyway. I will leave it the way it is. I don't need to be the fastest. I would like to drive a 100 mph 22C once though! Maybe someone will let me at AOTH, or at least take me for a 100 mph ride.

    I'm closing my week-end business at the end of February. This will be my first AOTH and I will bring better weather than last year. AOTH 2015, celebrating yellow Donzi Classics.

    Leave the weather alone. Just bring your yellow 22
    And I will bring a 7' shorter version in yellow
    Sure would be nice to see that rare Criterion SS with steering on the left..Ed

    I can't remember, Carl. Are you at the marketplace that's re-locating? And you aren't going? I hear there are many not making the move.

    No. That was the Gibraltar Trade Center downriver that closed. I am in the Dixieland Flea Market. It is not closing; At least not that we know of. My financial situation has changed and other business ventures are paying off and I can get SS in just over a year so I am retiring.

    When I was 39 years old I walked away from a bad career choice of auto technician. I have a rental unit and I breed German Shepherds and I did some car repairs and I started selling CDs at the flea market. Well I built that store up to where I was making $1,200 a day on sat & sun & $400 on fri. I had a good run but it has declined the last 5 years and other things have changed for me too that will let me "retire" by March. Now I sell mostly DVDs and video games. I still breed German Shepherds & have an Amazon store.
