Re: Julie's update
There are people out there that believe a car is just a car. And to those people, who see us beating our heads on the wall as some new electrical gremlin emerges or the latest 20yr old OEM part craps out, they can't understand why we torture ourselves so. It's understandable, especially when family and friends see it as our main, unreliable, source of transportation. But yeah, still sucks when people see your baby as a pile of crap.

Thank you.
My girl friend (female friend only) told me just to take the money and
run. The car was a piece of s**t, not worth the time or the effort. I
have known her for a long time. but this really hurt.
How do you explain people like you? I stumbled across the list by
accident, and never been happier than when knowing people like you.
If it were a toss up between the list and Jennifer? Sorry Jen....
Draco will rise from the ashes!

Jen needs Full Immersion. She is suffering from, among many, many other
things the curse of Modern Consumerism.
Besides the fact that there are tools called cars which serve a useful
purpose there is also the (not conflicting) issue of 'Dance wit the one
what brung ya'.

I mean, rully.
Ask her this: If she had a flat tire on the freeway, would she just
empty out the trunk and walk away, saying "eh, it was a piece of junk
anyway...".
What if it was a car she was more familiar with like say an MG or
Ferrari or perhaps classic Mustang? What then?
Good friends often have Good Sense, but not always is it Good Advice.
But at least she means well.

btw- By Full Immersion I refer to a Scirocco Adventure; bring Jen to
Cincy this year.
