Dear Buckarette,

Your friend's husband either made a good decision or a poor one depending on
which Porsche he had his rocker sitting on. He must work with the same bunch
I worked with when I drove my Vanagon to work for the first time. Frankly,
Scarloken, I don't give a damn. I knew was driving a Vanagon because I
wanted to and not because I had to. Many of these guys were driving their
leased MerzeBeeMDoubleVolvos more for what other people think than their own
satisfaction. Besides I had a MerzeBMporch too at the time. I just chose to
drive a Vanagon.

As for Honda Pilots, don't let your pal hear that it's engine spins the
wrong way to be a real Honda. Built by Isuzu, IIRC.

Cheers,

BenT
