thanks for the words and i am and i have plenty of time. the only problem is is that i havent met anyone around here with anything bigger than a 75. then when i talk to the lfs's and the largest they say that they can find is a 125. but living close to evansville is that st. louis is 2 1/2 hours away and so is louisville. then indy and nashville are both around 3 1/2-4 1/2 hours away. so that kinda helps out.
and pete thanks for the searchtempest suggestion wow cant believe i havent tried a helper before..... i feel so slow lol. that saves me hours.
