The better fuel economy is a big help as well!
Thanks Walt! Yes, getting something that stops well, that goes well, and that doesn't eat one out of house and home on fuel and maintenance is worth a lot. Modern cars, nearly all of them, are like today's cameras: they just work much better than the older generation of cars did. This little yellow bomb is just stunning that way ... it's fully into the modern era ... and it's 12 years old. A new one is over my pay grade to pay cash for and I won't get into financing, but I'll put the money away so I'm ready to buy a newer one when they're 5 years old. :-) -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
