Keith, Doug, 

  You guys are making me feel weird.  Driving is just something that I do to
test what I've built or modified.  Wrenching and making changes to achieve a
goal is what this is all about for me.  I'd happily put in the long hours in
the shop and let someone else drive as long as they were paying the bills.
My satisfaction comes from seeing the machine perform, driving just gives me
a better view.
