Curt, those are very nice presents thats for sure and look awesome. :D I also just bought a 1997 dodge caravan 7 passenger fully loaded with air conditioning , new winter tires and new summer tires for $3,500.00. We needed a better vehicle that would be able to last and haul wood and parts for bike builds etc, so i really need to get working more to make up for all the cash i spent buying the caravan so i can get back to my bike projects etc. :obscene-drinkingcheers:
