I hear it is difficult to get/keep good help these days.

Well, upon further inquiry, "a couple of days ago" really means "a couple of hours ago". Which probably means "5 minutes after you just asked me about it."

Gotta say, those old cars were works of art. Crap vehicles, but amazing designs!

I really enjoyed reading the ad copy. 99% is on space and comfort, 1% is on handling. :lol:

OK, what the hell - it's April 2nd and no winner identified yet! I know Schnelly is away on vacay or something, but I'm sure there's internet wherever he's shacked up.

I mean, once he's announced the winner, I'm gonna need at least 3 weeks to blow off putting a package together. Then my staff needs another 2 weeks to pretend to mail it out. Plus actual delivery time.

Schnelly, failure to act on your part does NOT constitute an emergency on my part.
