Hi Bob:
Good eyes. That is the Black Beast.
We are making some repairs to the transmission and water pump. All should be well in another week.
Enjoy,
Howard

Upon driving on Jericho tpk I spotted an old black car in a repair shop with an unusual space between the engine and rear end. I was unaware that you had a problem but stuff happens when you use an old machine and dont just park it and look at it. I hope that the stay in the auto hospital is not a long one. I talked with one of those working on it, knew his father, and it appears you brought it to the right place. Best of luck.
