   Our Brother Bob Houk leaves his Q to step out on the ice and....oooops,
   slippery out there, Bob, watch out...

I do remember once stepping out of the car, and noticing that both I
and the urabuS were slowly translating downhill away from the house!
We seemed to be floating 1/4 inch off of the pavement -- clear sheet
ice! Woof! (How did I make it up the hill/driveway???)

   I sure agree about Ferraris, but what the hell is a Porshe?  Perhaps you

Closely related to a Porche, only female . . .

   meant to say that AWDs (Qs and surabuS) eat 2WD cars of all varieties...?

   But Yer Kindly ol' Unka Bart urges you to watch out that you don't go
   a-huntin' for them Pcars that have a "4" on the tail, or one of them
   "organic" soft-curved spoilers with the word "Turbo" on the back...

yeah, well, back in them there days that worry didn't exist (and UrQs
didn't even exist yet, either (*)); all the P-cars were proper P-cars,
that didn't use antifreeze and had the engine out back where it be-
longs... (when did the 928 come out?)
