I suppose we'll receive absolution because the cars are old, because you need the car to get to work, because my man is handicapped, so we may a)pollute the environment driving a car and b) own a plush BMW - but why do I have to make excuses at all? catkawin ---- precisely... you shouldn't have to... the point of a car is to get you where you need to go, the best you can... just because my car may have been rather expensive new doesn't mean i'm a bad person... -KeLe* ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
