[urq] goofy fenders?

[Bill Bennett]

This car is obviously a true classic, no body puddy in the rockers or
fenders and it has "lighted entry" AKA dome light switch, the accessories
this car has make it no wonder that I had to restart my computor to view the
page using Mozilla Firefox, Oh the custom exhaust! and sheet! it even has
tires and wheels! and the special antennae on the right 1/4? I shudder to
think of what they used to fill the hole on the "left side" prolly demmergum
from GW enterprises. This car is obviously advanced, it even has an inside
hood release, now that center arm rest? I gotta get one of those, stop
resting my elbow on the seat bolster, would some one 'splain to me about
"Leather Steering"? that sounds kinky, I am not letting my son back in my
car until I hear more about that. and what are "Courtsey Lights"
