Hopefully you've had a lot of cars at one time or else you'd be about 200 
years old.

        now that's almost 50 just off the top of my head without really
thinking about it or looking in the old photos. i also owned a business with
a fleet of 18 vehicles...usually wagons plus 1 large van. these were
replaced every 2nd year i had the business 18 years (tv repair and sales)
so now you understand, actually whats amazing is that i still have the same
wife after 38 years of this nonsense and she still comes and pumps brakes or
holds the light etc.
