                                <SPAN><SPAN>Pantera</SPAN></SPAN></U></STRONG> ( 
                                no spare parts inventory along ) with my newly 
                                lowered rebuilt steering rack, caster shim 
                                changes, new front tires, and alignment. 
                                ( and Mike -- with my little ~ 12" 
                                steering wheel ). In rain for 9 hours 
                                as I was headed for PA. One ticket 12 miles from 
                                the house as I was starting out. My 295/50 Toyo 
                                Proxes STs once broke loose ( third gear in the 
                                rain ) as I was entering highway from ramp 
                                scaring me and the others near me. One 4" x 4" 
                                ~6 foot  post lying in the road at an angle 
                                that barely went between the tires made me have 
                                to change clothes early. It was just over a 
                                sharp peek in the road, barrier on one side, 18 
                                wheeler on the right, only time to jerk that 12" 
                                wheel and not even time to 
                                pray. My first stretch without sleep was 
                                24.5 hours. Cleaned and drained water from wiper 
                                motor in MI, and drove from Davenport home with 
                                no power assist on brakes. But loved every 
                                minute of the trip regardless of it all. I think 
                                I need to have my GPS looked at because it had a 
                                max speed of 98.5 recorded --------- that surely 
                                can't be correct. I would start out again, given 
                                half a chance. </DIV>
