I really like the Gratiot Auto Supply version. BTW, it's always interesting...
... to hear people outside of Detroit pronounce "Gratiot." Heck, even Detroiters say it incorrectly. LOL!
Detroiters pronunciation: Ghah shit
Correct pronunciation (since it's French): Gha show
Ha! In fact, truth be told, Detroiters don't even pronounce Detroit properly! It is: Day Tra
OK, I'm havin' too much fun! LOL!

Nice pair of Darts. I would like to add more drag Darts to my collection some day.
For now I only have the Dick Landy 68.
