Question:  Some years ago, a popular car magazine (Car & Driver?)
did a "road test" on the RSS.  (ok, it might not have been the
RSS, but from reading this, my civilian mind figured the RSS might
just be the "thaang" in question! :-)  The article was really very
funny.  If anyone out there in net land knows the name of the 
magazine and the date, please email me.

Thanks!
