> "SAGWAGN"

This reminds me of an amusing off-topic story. My brother-in-law is into old Chevy muscle cars. (He gets a kick out of my interest in vehicles that can barely get out of their own way, and have the drag coefficient of a boxcar. :-) He has some sort of late '60's station wagon, souped up to the max: huge blower on the hood, the widest 50-series tires I've ever seen, custom paint job, you can hear it from a mile down the road when he touches the gas pedal, you get the idea.

A couple of months ago, he decided to get "Shaggin' Wagon" written onto the back hatch of the car - you know, as in The Spy Who Shagged Me. So he took it to a local body shop that does pinstriping and the sort on classic cars, dropped it off, and told the foreign-born bodyman what he wanted.

When he picked up the car the next day, he was shocked to discover that his beautiful classic now says "Saggin' Wagon" on the back. :-)
