[Vwdiesel] Good bye Loren

[dieseltdi@verizon.net]

I am personally sorry to see Loren go, he has been a big help to me  
in the past with various diesel problems and seemed to be a really  
nice guy when I got to meet him.  It is unfortunate that we here in  
the US have become very thin skinned and unable to accept criticism  
from anyone, even if it is for our own good.  The Iraq invasion was  
wrong and the majority of Americans now see it that way.   
Unfortunately, we are now stuck and will likely be so for  years.    
The instability in the Middle East that the war has caused will  
continue to keep oil prices high and will simply encourage more  
people to seek out diesel cars and trucks.  Hopefully, a byproduct  
will the the availability of diesel engines in a wider variety of  
cars.  I would love to have a Dodge Dakota pickup with the CRD engine  
currently available in the Jeep Liberty.  Or how about a Chevy  
Colorado with a small 4 cylinder Isuzu Diesel engine?  To bad this  
may come at the price of thousands of US lives.  Oh well, this old  
style,not neocon,  Republican will now go into the garage and put the  
heat exhanger and the AC condenser unit back into its big, black  
plastic box so that I can hopefully install it into my Caddy  
tomorrow.  Hayden
