Let me try again, I cut and pasted the Subject Line and killed the TR3 part.

One of our HCTC members sent me the following, and I thought it would be of
interest.

Snipped:
One other note... amusing, though only peripherally related to ABCD.  If
any of you watched the Coca Cola 600 NASCAR race this past weekend, you
might have noticed a cute little commercial for UAW/GM.  The theme was
"teamwork" and had a race between kids in vintage pedal cars.  One car
"pitted," where a swarm of kids serviced the car and got it out on the road
to victory, while another kid pitted alone (no teamwork) and lost a tire
heading out of the pit.  Cute, warm, fuzzy, and all that, but one thing I
noticed -- The winning red pedal car was quite clearly a Triumph TR-3 .  I
even saw what I swear was a British flag sticker on the fender.  The blue
car that lost appeared to be a '57 Chevy.  Either the UAW pulled a fast one
on GM, or both of them hired an ad firm that doesn't know cars from peanut
butter.
