All;
-This is really funny. It almost makes me sorry I didn't pick
Psychology as a major in college.
MY FAVORITE: that a TIGER air cleaner is a "show-stopper".
This tells me: 1) the rest of the car(s) are in such sh***y shape that
the air cleaner is the only decent thing in sight.
2) Everyone stopped to "ooh & aah" at the TIGER air
cleaners, stampeding the ushers like a European
soccer-game riot.
3) I need to realize again that everyone's opinions are
different & worthy of considering. An air cleaner,
sorry to say, is not a "show-stopper" to me.
Seeing Demi Moore without clothes is.
Watching the sun set on the beach in Hawaii is.
Doing cool stuff with your kids and spouse is.
Having a meaningful and loving relationship with
your "significant other" is.
Adding value to the human race by what you do for
people and who you are instead of just sucking up
resources and spewing out wastes is.

Hey Roland, thanks for "not necessarily" coming down on my side and making
the obvious point that I was too frustrated to make after reading all those
strange if not just plain assinine comments.
Of course rubber, oil etc. can not be compared to a non-persihable item like
a metal coin or a STEEL air cleaner. And why does everybody assume that I'm
anti-repo? I'm not and I'm just barely smart enough to realize that my car
would never be road worthy without them. Give me a brake you guys, I know
you all like to flame a guy when he's down but your all starting to sound a
bit silly.
