Don't be apologizing for the emotions. I would have been a nut case if I had to wait all winter fot that type of repair. Breath out, finish and enjoy.

Congradulations!!!

With speed mods good brakes are important.

Maybe you need a new license plate for good luck. While the Illinois license plate PHOENIX is not available, three somewhat similar ones are: FEENIX, PHEENX and PHOENKS. --Bob

Try using numbers for letters, zero for O, 1 for I. PH0ENIX, or PH0EN1X.

Yeah... Good idea, but I tried that and numbers intermixed are "not allowed", I found out. However, PHOENEX was available - I expect "a few" will chide me for spelling, but it was as close as I could get. So, I bought 'em!

Speaking of vanity plates, (or should they be called "RIDDLE PLATES") I saw a hot blonde babe driving a Mercedes coupe that had the plate: AUDLOX (AU D LOX) It reminded me of an Olympic Ice skater(?) a decade or two back that had the California plate: GO4AU

Could have tried for the Rt 66 plate.. but a 5 character limit

PHNIX might have worked..

Cool deal on your plate

I saw one that was fitting for some people I know

Hi Paul--Glad you got one. Close enough. My favorite plate was one I saw in Dallas a number of years ago. A good looking blonde was driving a white Rolls Royce Corniche convertible with the plate "WAS HIS".--Bob
