did i feel silly on that one...it turns out that i dumped on something
that a good friend of mine was helping to market and sell (different
from the author)...

Besides, I never like to mix my job and my hobbies that much,
so i would say count my critique as only one opinion since i did not
conduct any usability
testing on this piece. You might like it, and besides, it is selling
very well, I think.
 I did meet the creator, though. I ran away right before he finished
reciting his resumee as
rebuttal to my digest postings. My friend does tell me that he is a good
guy. Anybody who contributes to our little obcession to the marque is.
Maybee he will do version 2 (two) that will include more postwar cars
and make the custom install transparent and automatic. I would probably
get it...

thx
