fred, you're right.  my wife and i have been discussing the possibilities
already.  we'll keep you posted and let the list know when we've got a
"public" name...we've already got a couple of *blushing* private ones ;^D

btw, i took her down to get smogged today.  PASS.  and this is without a
tailpipe.  the flange and bolts are there, but there is no pipe.  so i got
one from volkscafe.  nice people, those.  i also have a leak (pinhole) in my
expansion tank just below where the level sender screws in.  i will replace
the tank next friday, or perhaps before.  i have an appointment with peter
at volkscafe to have a full checkup next wednesday.  and an appointment on
monday at dmv to get it registered.  and i've already set up insurance on
the phone, awaiting my reg number.  god, this is fun!
