   OK. I had a friend in high school who walked and rode with a leg brace. He   
   had polio as a child and it left him with two weak legs, but only one   
   needed to be braced, I guess.

    RW>> How're you going to advertise the Lincoln?   
      
    RN> Word of mouth, mostly.  I already turned down $2700.   
      
   Have you checked out craigslist.org? Advertising is free. Post a few   
   photos and describe the condition of the car and a means to get in touch   
   with you, email, phone, etc.. Don't post your phone number in digits, use   
   number words in a few places, or you'll be getting calls from places that   
   offer to advertise for you for a fee. example: 830 six two four, 9999...
