The pattern on that one just looks like it is jumping off the cab. The others look great, too!

Add me to the list and just for good measure: (passout)

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
~ C.S. Lewis

	Rocks choose their owners, but they allow us the joy of believing to the contrary.
