/"LOL/

//

/I know a guy that would put â??Coventryâ?? air in his tires if he could 
figure out a way to ship itâ?¦ !"/

I have nothing against striving for originality. But at some point there 
winds up being a delineation between one hyper original car and the next 
that likely goes to mind boggling extremes. Ironically I thought about 
the air in the tires too. Not only the composition of the air _at that 
time period_ but the added effect of the compressor oil adding 
hydrocarbons (anyone care to add to that). But what was a sentence for 
me to describe you have eloquently distilled it down to "Coventry." 
Works for me.
