drive something else? make someone else hold their breath until it is done to speed up the process? I'm sorry, but you just aren't allowed to miss limestone, man!

james, if i thought it would survive a pair of people beating on it, i would offer co-drives on the corrado to ya (i know it's not nearly as fun... but it would be something)... heck.. bring your daily up.. if only to run SOMETHING...

I will hold *some* of my breath if it helps? :)

well james, i'm feeling your pain (ish) in terms of attendance @ events... corrado is down because i tried to upgrade... and was sent the wrong parts... not happy... sooo.. the pseudo-offer of the corrado as a ride-along isn't really there anymore, sorry man.
