Eh, FOX News has its uses.  The important thing is to not think of it as 
a news source in the traditional sense.  What it is is an extremely 
efficient way of finding out what the Bush Administration's current 
talking points are.  FOX is always the first to parrot them, then they 
trickle down into the mainstream media.

I knew I'd get a rise about my left leaning seat comment.

Anyway, he would probably take 3 grand for the car, which puts it way out of
reach of members of 500 Max Club

My son's 1985 300D is presentable, though the driver's seat lists slightly
to one side (left, of course).  I'm sure he'd be willing to take any amount
so long as it was more than the car is worth...

My hillbilly fix for a rather severe list to the left, on the driver's

Let me be more clear - stick shift means an H-pattern method of changing
gears, with four pedals on the floor including the parking brake.

No need to slit the upholstery - can't you separate the Tex from the seat
frame by working it out of the lower groove?
