Speaking of Parents, mine bought me a 72 LTD for my first car (that is to
say I paid them back) (anyway) since then I've owned a 74 caddy Sedan 
de Ville, 78 chevy Monza, 79 ford Pick-up, 77 buick LeSabre, and an 85
buick Skylark.  I realize that gas economy is still a big factor on
most peoples minds, but the car companies down-sizing everything this
year really ticks me off!  I can't understand why, with everyone soooooo
safety conscience, they continue to make these death traps such as the
chevette, civic, and other small cars. (nothing personal) Ive been happiest,
most comfortable relaxed and safest in the 72,74,77.(see above) And when I'm
in my truck and I see a really small car well, God help the guy if we should
get in an accident.  What do the rest of you think?  Should they still make
"FULL-SIZED" cars?  I think that with the technology, even my old caddy
if rebuilt today could easily muster 25 mpg.

Great! I'm about to get killed a million miles from 
no where with a gung-ho iguana telling me to relax!
