Don,

Is there any cure for the LBC disease?  Not that I want it, but if 
there is a cure I need to hide it from my wife :-)
I also made my Insurance agent speechless with this purchase:
When I called as a joke I said "This 12 step program just isn't 
working" (I meant in regards to buying cars...) dead silence on the 
other end... I realized what he was thinking and then explained "I 
bought another car".
