RE: Another accident, another question

["Aaron Ness" <aaron@makuta.com>]

Not sure, although I'm sure he doesn't plan to sell it.  He isn't terribly
particular or fickle about his cars, so he drives them until they die, as a
general rule, and does whatever maintenance/repairs are necessary to keep
them running.

My wife and I have not learned this trait from him - we have owned 12
different vehicles in the last 3 years, and only one of those was not
driveable.  We've slowed down a bit, so we expect to buy #13 within the next
6 months.

'87 528e
'82 Scirocco
'70 Beetle
'82 Kawasaki GPz550
'81 Honda CX500 - gave it away when it puked
'84 Scirocco - RIP - anyone want a strong JH?
'87 Cherokee 4.0 - the Great American Gashog, glad it's gone
'86 Gutless Ciera - the in-laws' car now
'84 Pontiac 6000 - for cars that suck, these sure last forever!
'70 Karmann Ghia - gone, but not forgotten
'XX sand rail - clutter, so it's gone too
'87 Nissan truck - indestructible, but unrefined - gone as well

BTW, my brother bought the truck, and a police dog sniffed it out for pot in
his school parking lot last winter.  Still a result of the PO, who sold it
to me in March '98.  That stuff hangs around.
