Love your site. Most amusing are the
letters from folks trying to justify their hideous purchases.
A cute USENET post is below; the enclosed .wav snip was on the
answering machine of a friend (could have been an SUV dealer
though)...
Cheers -- Mark

thanks Mark! glad you like it. the
letters are pretty much my favorite
part of the site - what people write in often blows away anything
i
could write. thanks for sending the quote... will post it. can i
send
you a sticker?

Joe, thanks for the nice response. Yeah, I like that quote,
and the sad thing is that it often fits. I only have one real
friend who drives a big SUV. He claims that he was born in a
Suburban, and his folks carried him all over Montana in that
thing, and it's some kind of emotional hangup. I appreciate
you offering to send the sticker, but hey, I've got a great
printer and some labels. I think I'll put it on my ugly old
Suzuki GS450E; it actually takes more gas than the Prius.
Keep up the good work, Thanks -- Mark
great Mark - when you have it posted,
i'd love a photo to put up on the "fleet" pages.
