Thanks, Rich. I'm looking forward to seeing a new Nomad in person so I can compare it to mine.

Glad to hear you'll be back to work, at least part time. Yeah, you never know how you'll feel after eating out at McDs or anywhere else for that matter. All kinds of people come in contact with your food. I had some college buddies who worked in the kitchen of a restaurant, and they said if we knew half of what goes on in the kitchen of most restaurants, no one would ever eat out again!

Yea, my youngest son is a server in a nice fancy restaurant. He told me never to send my steak back if it isn't cooked the way I ordered it. He didn't go into any details. I'll follow his advise.

That's why I build up my immunity by having a sweet tea and eating a Doublecheese burger every week!

I met up with the business manager from my dealership at the grocery store yesterday. He told me that they have an '09 Nomad on the floor. No Voyagers yet. He took the Nomad for a test ride and told me that there is a noticeable difference in torque and that the 6th gear is great. He said it felt like it was idling at 65 mph. I may go by tomorrow to look at it and maybe take some pics to post.
