Good luck! Do you trailer the car to shows? Not that I have the patience to keep my car anywhere near that clean, but if I did I'd be terrified to drive it anywhere!

I'm so torn for the NFC Championship. Being a huge Packers fan I have to at least root for Brett Favre but the Saints going is such a better story and Brees has been one of my favorite QB's since he entered the sport in San Diego.

Hope you did/do well Mel! And, how can you not root for Brees (unless you are Viking or Farve fan) after what he's done for that city? Also, I really want to see if Indy disrespecting history and letting the Jets into the playoffs will bite them in the A$$.
