...cash - good choice given your past bank episodes.<br /><br />There was a time I enjoyed the challenge of car trading but not anymore.<br /><br />Maybe you never noticed but the TV car commercials have changed. Often you will not even see the real car in the commercial. They use a animated computer generated version. Like most things I believe the marketers (few clowns short of circus) believe most of the future cars will be purchased by women.Bill Lislemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15187273560129198423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-77203144546787966682010-07-12T06:10:26.148+10:002010-07-12T06:10:26.148+10:00She is a beauty ~ so is your post!She is a beauty ~ so is your post!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16619199535376925989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-20600259901574840672010-07-12T04:13:59.886+10:002010-07-12T04:13:59.886+10:00My family usually just drive the car to death.

We finally decided to donate it to an Institute, that trains fellows as automobile mechanics. They needed a car to demonstrate basic stuff, take things apart and put them together again, and turns out our car was simply perfect.... Modern cars are like Shakira; Older ones are like Roberta Flack....:-)Ugich Konitarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901335427613806798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339261543193718354.post-28925264621787901132010-07-11T18:48:58.163+10:002010-07-11T18:48:58.163+10:00Oh good!
