It looks like this thread has probably taken its course. However, spring may be coming back here. In no time at all most of the west side of the state of Washington will be under water, and the east side of the state will be thoroughly wet, but not under water. Everything is melting. What a strange month this has been weather wise. This last weekend we had freezing rain, now we are approaching 50 degrees.

Anyway, Mike, I bet you are kind of glad you do not now have to send your Escape up here for testing. I can't say as I would be so willing to send my Prius anyplace for any group to test. Although it would be easy for me to do considering that I live where they do the testing. Still, I'm not that brave.
