As you might know by now I have a '73 thing.  I'm planning on 
reinvigorating it as a even more sport utility kind of 'thing'.  To get 
Van content, I'm hoping to use my EV MV to travel towing the Thing behind 
as a run around vehicle.  The EV isn't the ATV the old Westys were/are.

I've never received any mail from the thing list.
