Take great care, Ashford.  Now that you have a motor that doesn't need fixin' 
you stand a great risk of investing in stuff like wheel well lights and 
spinning hubcaps.  Your Roadster Factory catalog might wind up underneath the J. C. 
Whitney catalog on your coffee table.  

I suggest you seek treatment quickly.  Go work on Al's car for a while.
