I sold my Oldsmobile. You forgot about the New York City definition of BMW -
Break My Window. Also, Fiat is Fix It Again Tony. I wonder what Jaguar
stands for.
p.s. I had a Saab and it was a great car. Never had to do anything to it
except change the oil, and it was the best handling in bad weather of any
car I've ever owned. My worst handling in bad weather was a 1987 Chevy
Celebrity, which had a habit of doing 180s, 360s and even 540s on wet roads.
It got to the point where I was sort of used to it. One time I did a 360
going around a curve on a wet highway and just shrugged it off and kept
going as if nothing had happened. The other drivers gave me lots of space
after that. Luckily I never hit anything. I traded in the car in '94 when I
bought my (new) Saab. They gave me $1500.00 for it. As I pulled away from
the dealership I noticed that the Celeb had developed a flat tire while
parked in front of the dealership. 'Twas a fitting way to say goodbye and
good riddance. I don�t see many of them on the road any more, but when I do,
I am sure not to get too close.
