Welcome, "Deja"
You're in luck. There's a very active SVX membership in your state. You'll need to get together with them so that you can find out all of the "Network" secrets.
Everclear, ditto on the "ride and get hooked" scenario. If I'd never driven it, I probably wouldn't be on this board today. I's still be breezing along in my Suzuki Sidekick convertible.
Thank God for small favors.
