Well, I have to change the subject line. It was actually 1995 the last time the Roadster was insured. When my son (aka the apprentice) got home from school, I brought the car around front, and told him I needed to speak to him outside. I promptly buckled him in the passenger seat and my daughter grabbed a video of us going for a cruise.

If I ever get a tattoo, it will be of a guy pushing a push mower on the top of my head!

It looks great and sounds great. I'm jealous. Mine has been sitting since 1984 and I'm still no where close to being able to start restoring. Have to wait until I have a permanent garage to park her and work.
