[Vwdiesel] interesting listing in chicago, take 2

[Karol D. Morphew]

I'm still here alright (I'm addicted but have only lurked for ages).

Since my brother and I dropped by to visit Loren in June '00, I've put 
all of 23,000 miles on my Caddy, so it is barely broken-in.  It has a 
nice tight front-end that was aligned at Les Schwab a couple thousand 
miles ago.  It has been giving 38-40 MPG toolin' around Whidbey, but it 
has made 43 on the highway.  I always carry an array of tools, spare 
parts, and extra fluids that must add a hundred pounds of weight.

Being retired, I just don't drive much anymore and prefer to ride one of 
my bicycles or my eCruzbike <http://cruzbike.com/conversion-kit>.  The 
eCruzbike is a MBB (moveable bottom bracket) FWD recumbent bicycle. 
I've added a 24 volt motor (Cyclone 360 watt) to drive the rear wheel, 
so it is now a two-wheel drive.
