   I see what you mean about the A/C, but the 4000 doesn't engage the A/C 
   automatically on defrost.  It was all of my previous Fords that did 
   that.  See, you didn't read my immensely interesting story about a poor 
   little Ford kid, growing up in the heartland of America, turning to those 
   evil, vile, expensive German cars.  Pay attention or you will be exiled 
   to a Valiant for life!! And you don't want that , do you???

Well, I still have *fond* memories of my mom's Dodge Lancer, with that
kinky push-button auto-transmission, and the 225 slant-six (which has
got to be one of the best engines ever made period!). Incredibly dura-
ble (at least until she allowed the autoshop boys (she was a high-
school teacher...) to "fix it" for her), reliable, economical, depend-
able, nimble, and downright fun to drive (course I'm somewhat baised
as it was the car on which I learned to drive).

Yeah, I'm much more mellow today . . .
