Re: CITR: translations of the title

Damn it, cars these days get me all fired up. Those molded bumpers, what
the hell are they? How many 5 mph parking lot accidents have I seen cause
$1500 damage? What the hell is that? Bumpers are to supposed to allow us
that margin of error. The car industry has provided its dealerships a
whole lot of business in completely avoidable body work. And we wonder why
our insurance is so high. I'm so fired up I can't even think of a literary
reference to make this worthy of posting. Oh well.

heh...I drive a gold 1983 BMW 528E with lots of personality. It cost me
about three week's pay.
We're close on this one, John B.

When I read Omlor's post, I thought..."Fish wasn't writing about _him_ in
'The Unbearable Ugliness of
Volvos.'"
