Have you forgotten all you could do in the back seat of an automobile?  And have you
forgotten that a man without a car was a man without a woman?

A "one buck" car?  If you are referring to a transfer from my wife, when we trade
vehicles with each other,  they go back and forth at full market price.  I paid through
the nose for that damn Buick.

I think that a lot of automobile longevity can be attributed to body rust prevention.
Go to southern California, where there is no salt, and you see a lot of older cars than
in Pittsburgh.  It may also have a lot to do with a lack of ice contributes to a lack
of serious pot holes, and cars last longer if you don't drive them into 6 inch deep
holes at 60 miles per hour.

I thought it was an attempt to tie all the bullshit to the purpose of the address list?
