I'm not a car person (in fact, I've never owned a car) and I think there is too much car-dependency in the US, but that doesn't mean I don't recognize a great-looking car when I see one. We can't exactly ski across country, Thor. I'm sure, however, that you stood your moral ground and refused any rides in cars during your recent trip to the USA. Great point. I'm sure if Thor had to do it again, and say, permanently, live near Boston, LA, or several other area's in the US, he would realize that due to size of the US, the age of it's transportation system, the layout of its cities, and the cost (see Amtrak and profits) and the resistance to upgrade (see Governor Christie and the tunnel project fiasco), that being car dependent is a not a bad idea in many areas of the country. -Rex

Guess the driver by below description. He finished his cigarette, still listening to the radio, wound down the window, and threw the stub away. At a touch of the button the 3. 8-liter engine beneath the long sloping bonnet of the Jaguar XK 150 S thundered once and settled down to its habitual and comforting rumble, like an angry animal trying to get out of a cage. ???? flicked on the two headlights, checked behind, and swung out into the growing traffic stream along Osdorf Way.
