I was able to pull out of a 360 >> spin in a '91 Saturn on that highway. > I did the same in my Honda Accord, after I was shaking like a leaf. Oooh yeah. That shaking!! I remember that. I also remember that Suburban that screeched to a halt inches before slamming into me. >> BTW... I consider Saturns to be VERY competent handling cars. Those >> little things are EXTREMELY well mannered. What I put my Saturn through >> would kill its Japanese counterparts. They are simply some of the best cars >> GM makes... Hands down. > I couldn't complain about how my Honda handled...when it ran good. :) never had a problem with the ol' Saturn. >> I live 26 miles from work.

The Harman/Kardon sound system is perfect for those "long" commutes. > I hope you have good tunes to listen to at least, I hate that. All custom-made CD's.

The roads and traffic were all excellent, except SF and as soon as > she entered our state - CT I haven't been through CT in a long time. A good friend of mine in NY is from CT.

Oh yeah. >> I think they're worse than NYC. > Maybe....but they don't have the New York Attitude! Cripes....let me tell > you! Oh yeah. Definitely no NY attitude here. You won't even hear a single horn blaring even in the worst traffic. I spent 2 weeks in NY for a business trip, and after 1 week, I developed the worst attitude problem. After that, I haven't been to NY for longer than a week at a time. >> You've got bicyclists going any direction they >> want. Diesel buses. Electric buses. Trolleys. Horses. All on the road >> at any given moment. > No motorcycles, scooters, mopheds? Ok fine... We have those too... :) > Makes me think of the movie I saw last night - Fast & Furious. Talk about > Japanese cars! Haven't seen that yet. It's been a bad summer for movies. -- Marc Escuro mgescuronopsam.com http://home.att.net/~bryesquire "...when all hope is gone, you know sad songs say so much..."
