John, in order for a politican to qualify for election in Fl. we prefer they are at least on death row, to show they are tough enough to survive the election. As far as taste in cars, most of the buyers for our local used car dealers are sight impaired. As long as they can feel rust holes, and hear that the engine is knocking loudly, they are ready to buy. The reason is simple, they can buy cars very cheaply! The fine print on the warranties ensure that the major parts are NOT covered, and when the paint shop covers the rust holes with paper tape, no one will see them anyway, until they hit the first bump and the paint peels off! I have seen car lots where the featured cars are American Motors Pacers, Yugos, and 30 year old Mercedes painted flourescent green with red interior, and that is NOT a joke, well it is, but not MY joke! On a serious note, I wonder what Barb M will want as a gift for the blessed event? I would say a 55 gallon drum of assorted ice cream products, packed in dry ice, to get her through the next nine months, but I don't want to start any rumors..... (running for cover, using 55 gallon drum steel lid as a shield!) [log in to unmask]
