        I've listened to this thread for a long time, and thought I'd jump
in with $.02.

        I'm towed my '72 B once (over Thanksgiving, as you may remember).  I
dropped the drive shaft.

        Why did I drop it?  Why do I do anything special to that car?  Why
do I drive the speed limit in my B and well over in my parents' car?  Why do
I park in the farthest parking space from the mall?  Why do I sit in a
restaurant glancing out the window to make sure no one has parked too close
to me?  I guess because I paid for that car out of my own pocket, with money
I've saved since I was a kid (I got my MG key fob for my 16th birthday; I
spent the next 3 and a half years earning the money for the car) and if I
can spend 15 minutes to remove the smallest doubt that I won't have a tranny
when I'm done with that tow is the cheapest I've ever purchased peace of
mind.  I don't know why we wouldn't spend those 15 minutes for the safety of
the loves of our respective lives.

        Good luck and god speed to everyone in harm's way in the Gulf...
