Somewhere between $150 and $200, I'd guess. But OTOH my car damages the roads much less than a truck, mile per mile, and I go fewer miles. I wasn't disputing the truckers right to be there, though; only pointing out that their presence makes driving less pleasant. }And stupidity in pursuit of selfish ideals is no excuse! } } You set yourself up, I just took the shot you offered to me! } Wiz You're shooting from the hip and hitting yourself in the foot. -- Matthew T.
