I also have all these amenities. My current handicap is that I still have about 250 miles to go before my engine builder (Ron Kelley) will permit me go over 50mph or to use my Overdrive. (my OD is not a Volvo or Mitchell, but is a Ford Tremec RTS, which I am chomping at the bit to use with my new engine).
