The biggest problem for me is the design itself. I live in an area
where there is a lot of ice and snow all winter. The T bird is rear
wheel drive. Terrible in the snow. For a while I gave it to my
daughter to use, but was afraid of her driving it in the winter, so I
got her a front wheel drive and put the T bird in moth balls.
While she had it, she was side swiped by a hit and run driver so the
driver's side is pretty messed up. When I blew the engine on my 90'
Quad Four Pontiac Grand Am (that had 163,000 miles on it) driving it 115
miles an hour (what can I say, it felt so good-passing all of those
brand new BMWs-and I didn't even have the pedal to the floor-amazing for
a 4 cylinder-and yes only a stupid schmuck would do that to car, so you
know something else about me, I can be a stupid schmuck) I took the T
Bird out of moth balls.
There is one other problem with the T bird, it's color is diarrhea, shit
brown!
I saw a movie where they locked these mobsters in their Lincoln while
they were going through a car wash by hand cuffing the door handles
together (they were those "suicide doors")

I'm interested, but I wouldn't want to pry.

That's important!! OK to keep this related to MD, I used to use one of
my portable MD recorders in my office and let the patients listen to
headphones if they wanted, while they were in the chair. It never
caught on too big.
I now have a pair of those Sony Glasstrons, but I can't figure out what
to show using them. If I play prerecorded movies or DVDs, they'll be
into the first half hour of the movie, then what?
I've thought about making copies of the best scenes from different
movies and putting them on the same tape. You know perhaps a comedy
tape, action adventure, Si Fi. But that seems like a lot of work and I'
way too lazy to do that.
