quattro Digest, Vol 5, Issue 125

[Larry C Leung]

Sorry for your stress, I'm with you there. What bothers me (in addition
to traffic morons) is the ready access to emergency help on those FLA
highways. Guess if someone attacks that area with RPG's, no one will
know that either.....

Hmmm, sometimes I wonder if it's possible to have laser guided rocket
launchers on our cars....
