Alex, originally I planned to get rid of the S if I were going to buy an "expensive" car. I then decided that I liked w1ngman's Fiat for a number of reasons including the fact that I could keep PrincesS. When I was considering a new C6, the S would have to go. Now, I'm leaning towards another way around having to get rid of Ms. Moonrock just yet and being able to pick up another car(like I need one ).

Yeah... and some other number is 301 when it should be 150 or lower. I start on Lipator(sp?) today.

Mark, did you see where a couple of us will be meeting for lunch this afternoon in Chantilly? If you can swing it, it would be nice if you joined us.

Btw, my cholesterol is up to 305.
I found out 8 years ago mine was 315 and my triclycerides (sp) were a whopping 1770, with normal being just like LDL around 150-180 range. Blood pressure was way up, so I am now on Zocor and PB medicine three times a day. Getting old SUX

Also found out that if you are a beer drinker, like me, 6 beers the night before your test will send the numbers off the scale. I actually tested this theory and drank 10 the night before, stopping 12 hours before for the fasting period. The numbers were nuts crazy high. they even sent to another lab becuase they couldn't test in that high a range.

hmmm... I believe I may have had a beer the night before. Normally the cholesterol was only around 240. Still high, but not 300-high.

Ok... I'm leaving now.

Ps. Also did a quick calc... don't think I can leave PrincesS in tact and get the NSX. I could keep 'er, but some of the stuff would have to go.
