    Well, I finally got my Maverick. Won this one on eBay tonight. It doesn't look like much, (not a very nice two tone combination) but that doesn't matter to me. It has a very solid body, a black interior (which is what I wanted) and it also has air! This should make a nice black & sliver Stallion clone. Of course, it will take a few years to save up for the paint job, but it gives me something to tinker with in the mean time. Anyway, now I feel a much more a "part" of this group, actually owning a Maverick. Of course I've been here before, so I hope some girlfriend's sister doesn't back into the side of the car before I can pick it up, lol.

    Night all!
