Good idea, makes sense!

Finally, if you can, you must. Cause if I could, I would... and I just might.
Lol... Bunch of co-dependents in here, I gotta spend some time away...

That is mighty good advice methinks

But if you like to tinker...that brings it own (though different) rewards which are not a substitute for a comprehensive package.

YMMV
PSDS would be a great way to get a proper introduction to Cup. I am thinking seriously about attending.

i like that idea.
let's go for it.
i can get a dually and 44' gooseneck so i can bring pete's car with me everywhere ;-)
Hmmm, I see your confusion technique there. I was agreeing with you there for a minute

Another good point.
