I still like the reply someone sent to me
"It is rust free!" which in actuality means "the rust is free - you are
only paying for the rest of the car!"
I knwo we have all had these type of journeys and this is not my first by
any means and I am sure it won't be the last but I must admit that my
confidence int he honesty of the average human goes down with each of
these trips. I guess they must figure that if I will travel that far that
I will go ahead and buy the car jsut so my trip wasn't wasted. Gee,
nothing like trying to make one wrong right by adding another wrong to it.
Anyway, there is a GT out there somewehre for me and I will jsut be
patient until I find it
