The term poasting is used in many NGs, I do many posts and have for
several years, and do know how to spell. Regarding the hybrids, they should be redesigned in the near future if they are to be a viable product. Good Day. Aghnis |

ZW, The 1st generation Lightnings really do handle well, and I mean well. You wouldn't think so by looking at one, but they do. As good as a 'Vette or Viper, no. As good as an older Fox Mustang, yes. Ford really did there homework on that truck. Patrick '93 Cobra |
