Thanks.

winglets are good until they let go...then they're bad. However, I would be surprised if they don't have plans for them eventually...it's a pretty easy retrofit. I don't think they're legal in the V40s.

When i first read SMODS... i thought of:
SCMODS -

state county municipal offender data system

, the on-board system used by the rollers (AKA: cops) in the original Blue Brothers.

I love the quote at the end:

Design coordinator Mike Drummond, mindful of the high-stakes poker game with Alinghi, skillfully dodged most questions about the big boat's particulars this week. But asked what keeps him awake at night during testing, he didn't hesitate.
