Looking for a New Ride

[cobram at juno.com]

Corolla?  Did I accidentally sign up for a soulless appliance mailing
list somehow?  ;-)

Seriously though, I learned long ago that Audi's and any Teutonic steed
save Mercyless Benz Diesels,  are not for those who view a vehicle as
only an appliance.  The cost/benefit ratio only makes sense to people who
follow lists like this.

BCNU,
Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.
