Rather than risk possible neck or back strain from doing the forward 'bob', we should probably run the yellow light in order to avoid being in that situation. EDIT by spinner: Fixed quote tags

True heroes! I say... 'Three Pint Motors'!!!

I can type with two fingers, as well...but only when I use the 'shift' key. Good to see you're here, Glenn. Enjoyed your intro. Diesels do have a certain charm...especially now that they've quit smoking. Brian

I think 'Three Cheers Motors' would be a more appropriate name.

pedro, it's just that I, too, have had a wide assortment of mostly small imports over the years [TR4, Austin 1100, Volvo 142, 2 Renault 5's, Honda Civic, Volkswagon Beetle-Squareback-Van- Kharman Ghia, Mercedes 200D, a few domestic things, and an assortment of motorcycles]. The Ghia was probably my favorite until the smart swept me off my feet. It sounds like you've had your mitts on some much more sophisticated stuff [every Porsche!!], but I thought perhaps you'd had a Ghia.

You never know, glasslady, but it might fly. You could post the suggestion in the smart marmot's ideas topic, and maybe PM didiki to see if that works for them.

Keith, I really don't think a two or three tier fare structure is the solution. The cashier at the toll booth would need to have a list of which cars qualify for which rate, then determine which kind of car is at the booth, then argue with the driver over what kind of car it is and which rate corresponds, and on and on until there's a three sailing wait instead of two. And, why should a Honda Accord driver be lumped in with an Eldorado driver, while the Honda Civic driver gets lumped in with us. It's just not practical to enforce. Laser-based measuring technology is readily available and inexpensive. It may not be practical to install it at small terminals, but the four major terminals should have it. The cashier would have the precise measurement and corresponding fare when you pull up to the window. No delays. No arguements. No awkward tier system. And, no more unfair fares. The management of B.C. Ferries is squandering this provincial resource [taxpayer funded] by encouraging people to take large vehicles onto the car deck. Even the owners of large vehicles suffer because of long waits for the next ferry. If the board of directors of B.C. Ferries will not address this issue, they should all offer their resignations, or be turfed. And if they won't respond to us, they will answer to a T.V. reporter. They should start doing what they're being payed to do! Whew. I needed that!

I thought I recognized the voice of Inspector Clouseau. But I should have known that all your personna's begin with P. It was good meeting you on Sunday, Pedro/Pierre/Pepe! We should start planning a similar event soon in our club forum. I'm curious as to whether any VW's made appearances in your driveway over the years?

Fear not...in 5 months and 8,000 k's, we haven't encountered one flaw [except the lack of side visor, which could probably be retro-fitted from the next generation]Hi Dick. Sorry you and Blanca couldn't make it to our meet on Sunday. We'll have to do our next one closer to your neck of the woods.

I beleive it was actually my salmon...but it got away, and Crooks Hideaway caught it several months later. Welcome glasslady. It was good to meet you at our rally. We should all start planning our next one soon.

They should have used an ultra-light to be consistent with the whole 'fuel efficiency' thing. It would have been a great marketing spot. Hi Sam. It was great to meet you in person!

Right you are, Bud. How could I have forgotten to mention that she is smart. And, yes, she does have a tattoo on her...uh...derriere to remind people of that fact. It's great to be here with such a smart bunch of people [just keep your hands off my sweetie, please]. Thanks for the party invitation, Fred.

I've been stumbling around this place for a while now, and things are starting to come into focus. Great party. Very stylish digs. A lot of very familiar names here...I think I met a bunch of you at another party somewhere. But for some reason I'm having a little trouble putting faces to names. Since I got here, I've been hanging with a bunch of incredibly smart marmots on the west porch. Anyway, I figure it's about time to introduce myself. My name is Brian, and you need to understand that I'm hopelessly in love, and have been for five months now. Let me tell you a little bit about my sweetie. She's extremely beautiful. She's black. She can never take her top off in public...but her top is see-through [and she's extremely well-built]. She's pure, but loves twists and turns. She doesn't need a lot of power to get to where she wants to go. She has a soft touch. She doesn't drink much [so it's inexpensive to take her out]. And she has a set of wheels that we are very passionate about. Let's see...I think I have a photo of her here in my wallet.

Uh...I hate to be the one to break it to you, 42Kruiser, but you might want to look around the premises a little more closely.
