Yo Brudda Steve,

You may be fergetin' a couple of thangs! While Lista makes a good box (I
hear - still waiting for you to send me one to do a long term *test* upon
as I've never seen one), does Lista have:

*  A track record of making limited edition boxes (like Snap-On)? 

*  The dealer network (like Snap-On) to sell 500 of these?

*  The ability to convince BMW NA to authorize use of the ///M logos and
the like?

Hey - if they do, I'm all ears! I get dibs on Unit # 1.

Duane

P.S. You really put entire engines on toolbox drawers?  Man - oh man...I
use an engine hoist and stand for that!
