The GF and I took the Bus for a quick drive last night. We took the old girl, Vroomhilde, downtown for a little dinner and some people watching. (Not cruising, but with the traffic, if might as well have been)Weather was warm, and it was just getting dark. She perked right up, and ran like a dream. Got lots of friendly smiles and waves, and even an escort by a couple of guys on antique Harleys for about three blocks. For oonce, nobody noticed my engine noise! Gad, I love the feel of leaning back with my arm on the window sill. I have never driven in a car that is as matched to my personal geometry (mental and physical) as me and Vroomie. -- -- Chris Chubb (cchubb@ida.org) - (703)-845-2287 [Alexandria, VA, USA] ____________________________________________________________________ \All opinions expressed or implied may not reflect those of the \ \Institute for Defense Analyses, the US Government, or anyone else. \ --------------------------------------------------------------------
