El Rotary I think I can help you find a windshield for your Rx4.Teddy I don`t mind at all. Everybody thinks that I suffer a bad accident like I fall from a plane without a parachute but the true is my doctor doesn`t know the reason. I know is some kind of spinal cord Neurologic deterioration. First was my cervical I had 3 disk replace and hold it with a titanium plate and 5 screws then less than a year later I need 4 disk replace on my lumbar there is the rest of the screws (12 more) another titanium plate and 2 eigth inch rods to fusion together. My good friend Luis Gt (73 RX3) have something similar but in his case he indeed suffer an accident on the navy,anyway long story short I still walking and kicking not like Chuck Noris but I am alive.
