I have to teach the girlfriend how to drive stick on the rocc unless I can borrow my friend's older bimmer. Oh, that will be a rough day. I see a lotta ciggs being inhaled.... But, unless I want a break on the way to Cincy, it's gotta be done. Dan

She hasn't driven the Rocc yet, but it's tough for me to sit in the copilot's

right eh? I suspect she'll stop referring to the Rocc as "that ugly thing"
once she does get to take it for a spin, Adam and I were just discussing that
this very evening.
