oh now that is a cool shot...I went aboard the USS Intrepid while she was still in dock on the Hudson (she is over in Jersey now for two years worth of renovations)...I've been meaning to check out the Wisconsin down in Norfolk but I havent made it down there as of yet. Mostly because she is only on loan and they will only let you go on deck...no interior tours.
I know what you mean about being crazy about your car. I get out of my car at work and I have to look back before I go inside. Its been almost 4 years now and I crazier about it now than I was when I bought it.
