feeler: possibly parting out 86' 16v

[julie at menloparkrandd.com (julie@menloparkrandd.com)]

Ben, heres a reason for you.
Its been a long day. I'm on the way home in the red rocc. I slow and stop at a light. Next to me in a white suv, and a kid with too much money but lacking in brains. 45-50 rated tires on over size rims, spinny things on the rims as well. Reving his engine like hes at Nascar.
The light changes and I let him get half a car length a head of me. Then I floored it and walked past him. I was a good distance a head of him when he came flying up past my left side.
Around the next corner, a cop with too many donuts and coffee. Red & Blue lights come on as I roll past the cop.
A mile or two up the road, I passed the white SUV and the cop car. 
Hehehe. Made my day any way :) Well thats one why I keep these ungrateful little cars (to quote Cath)
