Yeah -way back when I used to have an old beat-up station wagon.. changed the
oil every 10K or so, never tuned it up or anything - it would've run forever,
and like a dumbass I sold it instead of fixing it after I ran it into a semi...
that was my downfall - I should've never bought a nice car...

actually, a computer is the worst investment you can make.... buy a PC for 3K,
spend another 1K on upgrades, in 6 months it is worth ~$1000

The really funny thing is when I bought my rocco, I was just looking for a
beater to commute in every day... then I found this mailing list, and that was
the TRUE downfall :)
