To chip or not to chip - and which is best?

[Henry A Harper III]

I did jump on the next group buy, though - look, Ma, I'm "discerning"! IMHO, 
one of the most valuable things you can do if you're considering a chip: drive 
someone else's chipped car and compare with yours back-to-back, and decide if 
it's worth it to you. I would be shocked - *shocked* - if any member of this 
list with a chipped car turned down a polite request to show off their car. 
Find someone close to you, Tom, and give it a go.
