I had a prostate biopsy this am, so it will be a day before I can check that as I have other things, like going after the missus's Jetta, which has been in the shop for one thing or another about half the time since I bought her that POS in May. I was thinking a good used (58k miles) 2002 Jetta for $11k ought to be a good deal, but about the only thing that it hasn't broken is a tire. The body work hasn't any rust, but its falling apart internally.
Its getting to where the word Jetta is a swear word around this campsite. :) -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
