Hi Phil et al,
Same article ran here in the Providence(RI) Sunday Journal with the
same picture. It's a small world:-) But yes, let's hope they handle it better
than the unintended acceleration fiasco of the '80's:-( In theory it should be
a moot issue; most of the people in decision making positions back then have
long since returned to the "universal substance". And the chances of the
german people allowing themselves to be swayed like that again are pretty damn
slim. They DO make nice cars; don't they:-)
Happy motoring,
