It's funny that this tread-detour would come up. I wonder if there are some dopey "corporate-type things" going on in the background. I ordered the License Plate Delete from Merlin yesterday and learned there were 57 shown as being "on hand" but they are listed as being out of production. He said that status usually means he is no longer able to get the part, but since they were listed as being on hand he was confident he could get it. Say whut? I guess I'll know for sure in a few days depending on whether or not I get a present in the mail.
