Chaplin,
I'm just glad the hardware store is close by. I often wonder how people that live "out in the sticks" get by (my dad is a real handyman but the closest hardware store for him is about an hour from his house). While I was building the car, every time my girlfriend called the first thing she'd ask was "are you at Orchards (a local hardware store) again?" Of course now that the car is running, I have a hard time hearing her over the rumble of the exhaust. Now she asks, "are you out cruising in the Cobra again?" Haha. Life is grand.
