ha! mik... funny, funny. my luck it would probably be a compact model. where are the buicks of my youth? trying to reduce my carbon footprint, i now utilize one that runs on rechargeable batteries. well, and etoh. difficult to start sometimes, but when it's running right, it's smokin'.......

Dumb person.

Are you that bored BOB!!!!!

[mik]

I hear you, glyn - Buicks, Pontiacs, Cadillacs - those were the days. But...if I had to choose between a Lincoln that runs out of gas on the hill and a compact that will get me there, I'd pick the more MPG every time. ETOH and rechargeable batteries? - OK, too. ;-)

[glynis]
