        Buzz. Thanks for playing.
        The answer we were looking for: Our good ol' gummint won't let me
buy a brand new VW bus. I think this is the sort of interference Steve is
referring to, and it bugs the crap out of me. I cannot purchase the vehicle
I love and desire because some dork-in-a-tie decided that my vehicle of
choice is too dirty/unsafe for me to own. This has nothing to do with being
a ditto-head (I am most emphatically not, although we see eye to eye on
some issuses), and everything to do with my personal freedom to own a new
VW transporter being legislated away from me. Uncool, in any political
form.

Peace,
