(ot) car length poll

I believe the question and response were regarding CARS. Yeah I know there
were some ancient cars that WERE (past tense) longer.  I remember several
boats built in the 70's that are ungodly.

If you remember much about English and the conjugation of verbs, you should
recognize the present tense of the verb "to do". <I can tell you that
production cars do NOT run longer than 20'.> Past tense would be DID.  Words
have meaning people. If used correctly and then understood competently, miss
understanding will be avoided.

Well, I know for sure that my friend's Chevy 3500 van is 20 feet, 4
inches.  I also went to school with a guy that had an ancient caddy
Fleetwood that measured just shy of 21 feet... but then the rear bumper
rusted off.
