Did I hit a sore spot with your driving habits?  I tried to point out
some stereotype drivers by associating them with the cars they drive.
If it failed to amuse you I am sorry and I hope you are in the minority.
The majority of mail I recieved indicated that they had observed the
correlation of car to driving technique I mentioned.  I did get a few
letters (from Porshe and BMW owners) that were quite indignant, and
chastised me for casting aspersions on fine german automobiles.

For the record I drive the following:

70 Mustang      (late 60's early 70's Muscle Car catagory)
72 Van          (full size truck catagory)
73 Pinto        (micro car catagory)
84 Winnebago    (Motorhome catagory)

I was poking fun at my own driving habits as well, especially when
I drive my Mustang (don't provoke me, please, I just got it painted!)

                    -Pete-

ps: You didn't mention what kind of car YOU drive (see I can use the
    caps key too).    -pab-
