Concretized bloatware. Hmmmm and a gaggle of oil guys runnin the govmint - they'll take a stand to improve efficiency, reduce their profits! (Uhh Sheik.. could we please have some more oil to run our tanks, as we pursue your Wahaabi(sp) buddies?) And we're supposed to be the smart guys.. A.

Got tired of leaving the Camry in the shop, so we went to the dealer, told them where they could stick the Camry (in polite terms, mind you) and they took it back at the price we paid for it, AND we got the full car tax credited back. Then we got the black Volvo S-70 '98 sitting in the corner. I have to say, it is a wonderful car to drive. Fuel econ seems pretty good, too...
