Scott Weiser (weiser@dimensional.com) said something like: : There is a union hall down off of 58th Avenue just east of I25 which : has a sign which says "no foreign cars in this lot", and they can : indeed tow you away if you park there. Heh. So if I show up in a Corolla and somebody else shows up in a Prizm... who gets towed? This silly stuff made some sense in 1975, but today one could argue foreign or domestic for about 1/3 of the cars sold -- Chevy Camaros are built in Canada, but Accords are built in Ohio. GM owns half of Saab, Ford owns Jaguar and a big chunk of Mazda; so is my 900S American or Swedish? Is a 626 (built by UAW workers in Michigan) American or Japanese? Not beating up on you, Scott -- I realize you're just the messenger :) -- > B E N T L E Y < bentley AT digex DOT net A long frisbee throw from the pungent and lovely Potomac River www.access.digex.net/~bentley/remove-this-bot-blocking-part
