CV Joints, Vanity Plates, & SUVs

[TJCallahan@domain.elided]

I finally caught up on me reading and felt ready to contribute ...

Many thanks to all who responded to my CV joint questions, I have the joints 
off and being cleaned and I'm tracking down a lead on replacement joints. 
Special thanks go to Adam, Brian, John, Obie, and Wayne for all the tips and 
help.

My Alfetta GT has 'Conbrio' on it. The Giulia spider has no plate (for now), 
but I'm thinking of one (but not telling yet). The Jetta I just sold has 'Ich 
Bin' on it (think Kennedy in Berlin and decide for yourself whether to use an 
upper case or lower case 'b'). My wife's Volvo has 'Gradde' on it (as in 
"that which rises to the top" - she's a VP).

The brand new Suburban (2 weeks old) has no plate yet, I'll probably leave it 
as a standard issue plate. I'm now, officially, an SUV driver. I drive it 
like the truck it is. I haul the soccer team around. I used to drive the 40 
and 60 foot local transit busses while I was in college, so I know about big 
rigs. I work for a cellular company.

It's the driver, not the vehicle. I feel very unsafe sharing the road with 
inattentive drivers and when they're in the big rigs, it's all that much more 
scary. I'm raising my uninsured motorist amounts.

Precious little Alfa content, but I sure do appreciate all the help getting 
my Alfetta cleaned up and back on the road.
