Yup, I remember some USA smart-alecks who got caned (like, cain- not canned) in Hong Kong for malicious mischief and vandalism. My kind of eBay auction at the moment is more in line with that 1959 Desoto Firesweep stationwagon that was recently up for auction. Rusty chrome, bad paint, 5 mpg, big old honkin under dash airconditioner, that UFO funky smell in the back seat that smells like sweat combined with old frenchfries with a hint of poopie diapers and cookie crumbs. That $14. VW is bound to show up at the Chinese equivalent to the Pomona swapmeet for a zillion yuan. ;-) I will be looking for NOS anti-carbonmonoxide fume scoops on "DesotoPlanet." -Ellis\
