No problem. I like the interchangeable setup.

On another note, when I was at church, (I'm new there but have known the pastor for years) the preacher pipes up and says, "I don't know what it is about power, but men LOVE power. Horsepower especially."
He gave me a sly look and I just returned the look. I know what he has in his garage. Cough
Cough: Chevelle SS 396/4spd

I wasn't going to say anything.
