The new cars are probably better engineered, more reliable, and more efficient, but the old ones have character. With all the new-fangled crap they pour into them these days I still just want one thing: a rolling sofa. I don't want to feel the road anymore. At all. My Grandfather had a 1968 Electra until the mid-90s. I have yet to ride in anything newer that feels half as comfy. -- Scott Loveless http://www.twosixteen.com/fivetoedsloth/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
