car talk

from william gibson's blog:
Legend of the Yugo: "What is the function of the rear glass defroster on the Yugo?" "To warm the hands of the person that pushes the car, when the weather is bad!"
something i found by googling my potential new car:
I have a chevy metro 97 and IT SUCK. Before i buy that metro i was already knew that gm was cheap and not good car but whit the job i have i dont have the choice... I got 7 problem in 2 year... Now that the Daewoo is now avalable in canada i think i will buy the Lanos It will be better...
o...k...
i've been reading lots of reviews of the metro, and they're running about 70% favorable, i would guess...complaints about stuff like not enough power, limited heater vent positioning, lots of little details...(not that limited power is a small thing, but ya know, it IS a 3 cylinder, 1 litre engine. someone at work said i was wrong about that, that there was no such thing as a 3 cylinder engine!) but the people who love their metros REALLY love 'em...mostly due to the mpg.
i called prudential today, and got the loan finalized in about 4 minutes...getting to a live operator almost took THAT long...
i was teasing the cat a while ago with bird call sound bites...i'm a BAD daddy.
later, kids...michael
