Thanks for all the kind words....I figure I will definitely pick up sme practical skills. Plus, I will have the "run" of the extensive base Facilities for my car "projects". There's many things I am looking forward to, but, having to keep up with a group of teenagers ain't one of them-geez, it's harder to get into shape.
On another note, my wife purchased me a set of Ford Racing bulbs and fog lights (cost 10.25$ on EBAY!!) for my Lumina, and they are BRIGHT!! It's nice to still have a car to "wrench" on.....

It only took me 2.5 hours to install both-they NEVER make the wiring harness for those "universal" kits long enough!!
