Very true.  To fill everyone else in, Brad & I are picking
up an 8v tallblock (of the Audi persuation actually) from
Raleigh North Carolina on Saturday - in the Grumman.  Which
means we gotta get this thing over the easily dented
aluminum wing and into the back seat area.  (Cool that the
seats fold down flatter than a Scirocco!) It looks like
right now we'll be able to use an engine hoist down there
to assist in loading it, and I have a hoist here to unload
it.  *crossing fingers.*
