RW> Oh but the difference in performance would have been enough to buy the SS   
   RW> in my book.   
      
   The big difference I noticed between the LS and SS is the transmission.  The   
   LS has a "cruizin" transmission where the SS coasts at a higher RPM.     
      
   RW> I've installed many a hose in my day and know very well of what you're

   I have found the best way to remove old hoses is with a knife and pliers.  :)    
   RW> Same here...forcast for freezing rain, or snow by tonight...fortunately I

   Now that just isn't right.  Freezing rain and snow in Texas and we have not   
   had a flake here in MD (minus our governor) since our early snow in October.
