Yep, saw that. Kinda like he "Made in China" T-shirts that were such a hit with Chinese kids in the 80's. Funny thing was most were bought by ABC's (American Born Chinese). I guess her T-shirts might become de rigeur for those conceived in vitro if the same pattern followed.

This whole Maxi Westy episode reminds me of why FrankenWesties are so impractical for those who know little about their conversion. Those who do often are married to them. Can you imagine some fellow in the bajou seeing their Westy in a wrecking yard? A whole new urban myth could get started that Nissan made engines for Volkswagen in the mid 80's. Or they could think that the AXIS powers of WWII did not give up. They kept their undergrond power intact by financing it a joint venture to manufacture Japanese powered German cars.... HoOhkay... too much coffee this Friday.
