Subject: Re: Ch**slers "inventions"
yeah!! i rememrber that one now...
i was watching the Chrysler minivan commercial, andit said something
about "more interior space " than (posssiblpy said) any car in its class
"due to its cab forward design"
i started screaming at the TV of course...i tend to do that these days..
told the TV that hy ol' 69 has more interior space than it, with its REAL
cab forward design..and that my 75 has even more, with its total lasck of
interior...and roof...hmm...i think i was just in one of those moods, ou
know?
