Thanks, Jay. You may see 89795 at the hotel this summer.

As for that "worst-case scenario" - I'd like to think that's pretty
unlikely with this particular engine. But then there's always the
possibility, with any engine.

Congrats, Paul. It sounds to me like you did a pretty danged good pre-buy
yourself, and -- with the price of a 152 less than a Ford Taurus -- what
have you really got to lose?

Worst-case scenario would be needing to buy a new engine -- and you'd STILL
be spending less in total than the cost of a mid-70s Skyhawk.

I think you done good.
