L C Didn't you read ironhorseman's forum about standing on the tracks. You know standing on or near the tracks isn't really very safe. [;)]

Millie? Let me guess, hubby named the Buick "Millie". No, wait. It was YOU who named a Buick "Millie". Reminds me of the time my kid sister named a turtle [the small quarter-sized, diseased ones] "Fluffy". "FLUFFY!" That was over 40 years ago. I still remind her of that from time to time. "Millie"? GHEEZ!


Hi Skeets - Well, I named the Buick, cuz we have a Ford and a Buick and just like trying to remember your kids names, I was having trouble with Ford, Buick, Old, New so I went with Millie - (she is a century version - Millienium - Millie - get it Skeets?)

And now let's go all the way! [}:)]

My turtle was "Charlie"! That fits better than Fluffy!

(those were the fun days weren't they!) [8D]

Ed - Millie is a 2002 Buick Century - she has a cassette player which really shocked me - And we rented a 2003 Acorn (Ford Focus) and it had a cassette player only. I was stumped, cuz I kept looking for the CD player - neither came with one!

We have all CD's and now so what in the car!

How about the UP's 3985 Challenger storming straight at you, with Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" blasting out as the sound track?

Isn't this just a bite! We just had to run out and buy everything on CD's when they first came out - cuz no one was going to do cassettes anymore. Now you can't play them in the car. Car manufacturers aren't following the norm - They should install CD players and include that in the nominal fee they charge for the car and make the cassettes optional! Am I missing something here?
