I have been reading this for a few days and wondering what is wrong with you people.

When I flew to CO and bought my claret I got about 30 mpg driving 70 - 80.
not a lot of 70.
I have decided it is the paint. Yup! Much less drag for the Claret going 80ish.

You may not believe this, and it is probably better if you don't. Someday when I get another SVX and it will have to be the economical Claret, I would appreciate if the price for that color hasn't gone through the roof!
Thanks for understanding.

You have just plain lost it, well given that at one point in time you actually had something to loose.

I misspell almost every word that has double letters in it by just putting in the one. I have to go back and edit almost every single post.

I applied for a job using a computer, and when I explained that I loved a computer, the interviewer asked me my favorite thing about a computer.

That was an easy one! I quickly answered, The spell checker!.

If you have a good sense of humor and are a person that is blessed with wit, take a few minutes and read this web page about the interview.

A lot of truth, a lot of humor, and a lesson in the tragic world we live in. Many of you will not have the attention span to get through it and many probably will not understand it! (another sign of the times)

Good interview technique Keith. You probably confussed her just a little bit.

Hey, I did not realize your wife Marylin had been unwell with cancer. I'm really pleased she has beaten it and is well again. God is good. Tell her take care and that I was asking for her.
