You have expressed an interesting theory in a very concise and elegant matter, and as I read the "Gray Suits" sentence, I thought to myself that I've never come across a better one-liner to describe

Let me pipe in here if I can. I work with WrightTRAK and we were looking at doing a project, a NYC car. I contacted the NYCHS and was told, yes, they have the drawings we are looking for. We would
