   I've sworn off front-wheel drive cars and haven't had one since my '88 Lincoln   
   Continental.  The HHR looks like a ripoff of the PT Cruiser, but it too, is a   
   front wheel drive (or looks like one).   
      
   I managed to get a FREE (SIL paid for it) JVC AM-FM stereo radio/cd player for   
   the Benz yesterday.  It is very nice and came with a remote control, although   
   I don't know why they make the remotes with the radio so close.  The AUX   
   recepticle is broken temporarily; something I plug my cell phone into, but the   
   mechanic knows how to fix it and will at some point in the near future.

   The Benz would probably still be in the garage if I hadn't gone by there and   
   told them what I thought the problem was.  Some guys like to make a mountain   
   out of a mole hill when the solution is so simple as to escape their motice.

   P.S. I was looking for your latest NETmail to answer it this morning, but it   
   has disappeared.  I only rememb er one line from it -- "No comment."
