[Shotimes] who can help me?

[Steve Tatro]

So, you're comparing a '94 MTX which you bought used with a bunch of
miles to a '95 MTX which you bought used with a bunch of miles to the
2.5 years you drove a brand new '99?  Nice example.  Meaningless, but
nice.

My '93 has had it's problems, but at 181k miles is still my daily
driver and has never left me stranded.  Worried, but not stranded. 
This includes a couple of days of having to beat on the starter to get
home from work, but I'll take that for a car I paid so little for 8
years ago.

People at work pick on me because of my car, but I know they're just
jealous.  We all make enough money to go out and blow $50k on a car if
we wanted to, and most of my coworkers have.  I just keep telling them
I'll replace the SHO when (if?) it dies!
