The biggest reason they were black was probly to hide all the hydraulic
fluid they leaked when they were on the ground.

Wow, I was about 8 or 9 miles an hour slower yesterday than I had been
all winter with the temp up about 40 deg. from what I was used to. If I
can just put on Armoural and get it back count me in.:-)
