>>I don't know, Jay, she considers me persona non grata.<< Actually, I took you off Ignore a while back. I do drive a Disco, which I love. When I decided I wanted an SUV, I would stop people in parking lots and ask them if they loved their SUV. Ford Explorer drivers always said no, GM drivers were a mixed lot. My dad drives GM exclusively, and has worn out a lot of SUVs hauling his deep sea fishing boat from Baton Rouge to Port Sulfur. He lets me drive them when I visit, and I wouldn't love one. They're OK, but the Disco is a kick to drive. Manual transmission, very nice.

Carranza, but SUVs are good for the environment. Trees and other chlorophyllisms love eating CO2 and SUVs produce a lot of it. All that oil used to be alive and having fun in the biosphere. It's been buried for eons and CB is generously spending more money than the stingy Toyota Echo and Ford Ka drivers in an attempt to revitalize life on this dwindling planet. The first thing that needs doing is to pump up the atmosphere back to where it was. That means getting all that carbon back into the air [not as soot but as CO2]. We also need to dig up a lot of limestone and get lots of cement kilns running to force the oxygen back into the atmosphere so the carbon can be burned with it to make CO2. We've made a start. China needs to build concrete roads and airports everywhere. Also millions of steel-reinforced concrete buildings. That should get things moving and free up a lot of oxygen and carbon. It would NOT be good if we continue on our path to yet another ice-age as the planet dwindles towards its freezing demise. We have to warm the place up again and fill it with CO2 and O2 [a bit of ozone to reduce skin cancers in NZ would be good too - we'll clip melanin DNA into zygote genes soon, to solve that problem permanently]. I should mention CDMA here too. Mqurice
