At some point (perhaps this summer) it would be very worthwile to collect stats for each vehicle on the list. People like myself, like to play with the figures and who knows, their analysis could be a component in a book. After all a sample size of 200 or more is representative of the population -- so they would actually mean something. Stats of interest might be, engine life, oil change, mileage, # of accidents per wife, number of rebuilds per body, major components broken/repaired etc. DC ---------------------------------------------------------------------- David Carment School of International Affairs Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario K1S 5B6 voice - (613) 788-2600-6662 fax - (613) 788-2889 Email address: dcarment@ccs.carleton.ca ----------------------------------------------------------------------
