I would like to get the check passed and order placed asap. This dealer is very reliable and I know them well. The dealer will get it in, I'm confident. Both of us wanted this. The dealer wanted to sell me one as bad as I wanted one. When that happens usually there's a deal. I don't see it collapsing at this point but you never know.
Congrats, Charles.

Yeah, I was going to gently mention that "penultimate" means "next to last", not "last" or "ultimate."

BTW, the first time I heard the use of the term "penultimate" was in Organic Chemistry: for example, the next to last carbon atom in, for example, an aliphatic chain, is referred to as the "penultimate" carbon.

So, whenever I hear the term "penultimate", I am taken back to my days in "O-Chem!"
