You HAD to ask

Currently a 1985 Lincoln Town Car, a symbol of excess and vinyl tops run amok. Bulletproof and comfortable though, with a small block 5.0L V8.

And I think it's a good thing.

Thanks Dave, but not really. Just like you, Dave, I do a job for which I am suited. You have mechanical ability and an ability to understand systems. I happen to enjoy writing, and, in case it's not obvious, I like to argue. As a labor lawyer, the arbitration cases we love to get are the ones that look like losers. Expectations are low. We are going to get paid, win or lose. When we do win one of those, we come out the hero, and we get to claim that it took some lawyerin' to beat the MAN. In other words, it's fun sometimes. And we don't have to watch Fox at lunch. (It's usually ESPN, CNN, or MSNBC)

Sorry to thread crap Karl. As you can see, some of us here are windbags.

Regards,

D-Ray

I have two.

1997 Dodge Dakota.
Short bed, regular cab, 5.2 liter V8.
She looks a little rough with dents, faded paint and rust.
But she runs like a dream, even at nearly 180,000 miles.

2009 Dodge Challenger R/T Hemi.
5.7 liter Hemi V8-370 horsepower.
Deep Water Blue, Dark Charcoal (Black) Interior.
She's beautiful and scary fast.
0-60 in 5.8 seconds, top speed 152mph.

I spoiled my kids by buying them a 1991 Olds Cutlass with 130K miles on it. My Wife drives the '03 Intrepid with 110K, except when she drives to OK to check on her folks, she takes my daily driver, an '08 Saturn hatchback that we bought new. Brother Karl might recognize it as the Opel Astra, which was re-badged for sale in the states.

Regards,

Just curious what small English town you might hail from. I've got some family "over there".
