The one at that site looks too large, but I'm going        RN>> back there this morning and have another look.               RW>> I'll bet it won't fit. There has been a lot of changes to that car        RW>> since 96. If it were a GM car, it would fit.               RN> Looking hard at the face of it assures me it won't fit. I'll keep at        RN> it until I find one. I don't think I'll be able to get an OEM unless        RN> I want to go backwards (NOT!) and get one with a cassette player.        RN> So, I'll look for a Sony or a Pioneer.              You can buy a Sony and/or a Pioneer radio, like you're wanting, at Walmart       for about $100...I have a Pioneer in my race car to listen to tunes and       the announcer while at the track. The announcer broadcasts on 97.1, a       clear channel in SA and I like listening to 101.1, an oldies but goodies       station in SA. That old music helps to calm the nerves...               RN>> I remember that from when I bought stuff via eBay. Nowadays, the        RN>> sellers want the buyer to pay via PayPal and I won't go that route.               RW>> That's the only way to go, unless you're going to send him a        RW>> personal check or pay with a postal money order by mail. A PayPal        RW>> account is free and would only cost you money when you sell        RW>> something and your buyer pays through PayPal. Some of the Ebay        RW>> sellers won't accept anything else for payment.               RN> The last time I went through PayPal, I bought a motherboard from a        RN> guy. It wouldn't work, so I contacted him directly and he sent        RN> another just like it. I contacted him again and he refunded my        RN> purchase price through PayPal and they cut out a small slice for        RN> themselves, which I thought was wrong. That's why I no longer deal        RN> with them.              The seller should have included a statement in the payment to PayPa that       it was a refund and not a sale...not PayPals fault that he didn't do that.               RN>>> I fell 30" to the tile-over-reinforced concrete floor below in        RN>>> less than a tenth of a second. I haven't figured out how fast I        RN>>> was going yet. :-)               RW>>> How do you know it was less than a tenth of a second?               RN> As I said, it was a guess.               RN>> A body falls at the rate of 32 feet per second per second. In other        RN>> words, mine was a guess. What do you calculate? (-:               RW>> 30" at 32 fet per second means that you hit the floor in .078        RW>> seconds or less.               RN> Okay. (-:               RW>> There was no time left to acclerate to per second per second.               RN> I was too busy hurting to notice and it was a rude awakening from a        RN> deep sleep.              I'll bet!                      R\%/itt                      ,,,By the time you find greener pastures, you can't climb the fence!              --- Twit(t) Filter v2.1 (C) 2000-10        * Origin: SATX Alamo Area Net * South * Texas, USA * (1:387/22)    |
