Mike,
You might also get more action if you dropped "the snake" from your ID . I mean, really, would you buy a used car from a guy who calls himself "the snake"? I wouldn't!
As long as I'm giving unrequested advice, why stop there? I've always looked at owning an airplane like owning a boat (AKA a hole in the water into which you pour money); something that costs a lot to own, is used very little, and has very little practical value. Maybe you've already considered this but joining a flying club or just renting someones plane might make more sense. Back in the day, that's what some of my friends did.
