Yes. Well said, drmiller.

My Git'rDun items - hopefully completed in time for the Watkins Glen Green Grand Prix on April 20-21:

1) Finish installing the EPES: Externally Powered Electrical System with full complement of fuses, switches etc. My thread at: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...tor-20008.html

2) Finish redesigning/building/rebuilding the [EDIT - LINK FIXED] rear spoiler mod. [/EDIT] Right now it's in the garage where it spent the winter. Warmer weather is upon us.
