*That* is the primary reason I like mainframes. And European cars.
I hate to
break it to you, Sridhar, but your Camry isn't a European car.
:)
I drive an Audi A8 4.2 Quattro.
So you replaced your Camry finally? I'm sorta glad that I replaced mine last
year.
It's been more than two years. 8-)
I just still have a lot of stories involving it, since I drove it for
such a long time. My Audi *definitely* has more soul, though.
A (gasp) **new** "BMW" Mini Cooper S. I
love that car. It may not be
classic, but it's probably more fun, safe, efficient, etc.
That's a nice car. Rides like it's on rails. I test drove the JCW
version when it first came out.
Oh, and to haul stuff, I've got a converted
'89 Checy Van 30 Boxvan. It's
amazing the amount of abuse that thing can take... best $1k I ever spent. Of
course, its replacement will have a liftgate, which is the one thing which
that guy is missing.
My latest toy is a Pinzgauer 712. It takes a beating too. 8-)
Peace... Sridhar
