Hey Bob, thank you so much for the help. However, do you realize that 
basements end in the West? My garage isn't that cool in Summer especially
after a long run with the Mercedes and parking it in the garage: the turbo
really warms things up! I do have a family room which is now my work and
storage room; guess I could put them in there. Some day when rich and famous
will put a A/C unit in the garage; used to be a duct going in there but 
insurance was concerned but didn't consider the inch and a half gap under 
the door! l.o.l.

It got so hot outside, one of the Volvo tires delaminated! :O Only been in 
the eighties and was brand new. No way I can sell it with it having only 
four tires, but luckily there is plenty of used tire shops. If I knew it 
was going to a friend I do differently of coarse.


Thank you and take care!
