Roger that Rob. Thanks for the quick reply.

Anyone in California successfully get a field approval? Additionally, anyone have any idea how a Goodyear tires wears in comparison to an ABW tire with the heavy tread?

Z?? Crickets?

I have an idea - if we want to stay away from the face-space paradigm, let's go with a button that says "real nice, Clark" so we can show our enthusiasm for a post without cluttering the thread with a 3 word post!
