True, true, true.  In the last 10 months I've spent 2-1/2 months living in
CA and then 2-1/2 months living in TX and I could not believe all of the
cars and trucks from 60s and 70s that were still on the road.  I saw cars
that I haven't seen in 20 years.  It brought back a lot of childhood
memories.  One of the cars that I saw quite of few of were Datsun 240Z and
260Z's.  Here in NJ those things started rusting away the day you brought
them home.  One of these days I'm finally going to leave NJ and move to CA.
