Well, "Erc" (I call you that because it seems like everything irks you) I
didn't say I

"all-is-right-with-the-world" feeling just knowing that you are still one big

waiting to be pushed...
...and the Roadster didn't die, the "Z" killed it.
BTW - maybe the Colorado child seat law comes in response to all of those SUVs
rolling
over ;^)
