Unhappy

Larry - I'm sure you done thought of this already, but have you factored in the inevitable dropout rate? Have you noticed any lack of posts, either here or "there" from early signers-on? Face it, we got a year to go, & we know these cars ain't built by Maytag. Dooms-day scenario.... 10 of the 100 have secretly traded in for sedans & vans, 'cause "baby on board", 30 of the remaining 90 are '92s & the yet undiscovered "REPLACE AIR BAG" light goes on, ignition interlock activates & car won't start. Dealer says "time to pay 3K please", "Oh? - yes, you can push it into that big dumpster right there". 20 of the remaining 60 belong the "under 25" crowd, & have been disintegrated trying to beat 5.0 Mustangs. 20 of the remaining 40 are on cinderblocks waiting for tranny parts. 10 of the remaining 20 were T-boned during road rage incidents. 5 of the remaining 10 were lost in the "Great West Verginny Flood of '02". 3 of the remaining 5 were stolen & shipped to Uraguay for parts.
This leaves you & Aredub, who will ship his to Indiana on a flatbed to spite that airbag crap. I hope the naviguesser doesn't have a headache that day. Better keep recruitin' Ron/Tsu
