   If they're so into 'sales', I sure wish they'd put more things ON   
   SALE...like a Crumar Mojo!!!

   With all the snow, it's starting to look like that around here.

   Yeah, planes move at much higher speeds and tend to disintegrate more easily   
   and thoroughly in a crash.

   I'm not sure...but ALL computers used on vehicles should be Standardized and   
   Open Source!   
   And if not, I'm all for REVERSE ENGINEERING!!!

   You've been very fortunate!

   To me, 'luck' is merely an appearance, because  Nothing is truly random, it   
   only *looks* that way....when a Finite being looks at a single 'pixel' of an   
   Infinitely larger picture!

   Or a CO leak gets inside the vehicle and does its killing while stopped.   
      
   I don't even like the idea of an air bag exploding in my face!

   Doesn't need all that gimmicky Crap - lived just fine without all that   
   Nonsense for Decades WITHOUT INCIDENT. In other words, TRACK RECORD   
   PROVEN!!!
