of that advancement is left as an exercise for the interested student.)

(BTW, I noticed your email ID of "drsavage".  Does that refer to a Street 
and Smith magazine of the 1930s-50s, reprinted in the 1970s?)

night!)
1988 Milano Platinum, "SnowHawk", 162k miles (with R134a conversion)
1991 164L, "Peregrine", 59k miles (good, cold air)
1984 GTV-6, "Falconi", 132k miles (new exhaust, but it's too !@#$%^&*()! 
hot to drive it)
