The main thing is that you and Lisa are OK.
Enjoy the new wheels!  And for a change of pace,
consider moving to Texas - there are enough OM
owners (and list members) to keep you in business
for some time!

I had been driving a Mazda B2000 pickup, bought new in 1983.  Drove it for
more than 15 years.  It sat in my driveway for  a year in a deep coma. We
finally donated it to Big Brothers and Sisters.

Sept. 99 ordered a new Chevy Silverado 1500.  Waited 4 months for it to come
in.  Drove it from 1/27/00 till 7/30/00 (about 4500 miles) when we were hit
broadside by an "invincible" 18 year old driver.   Airbags deployed,
everyone walked away from it.  The 18 year old girl (and 2 friends) walked
away too,  though she's probably still a "f***** moron"  as I told her at
the scene.  Lisa and I saw our lives flash in front of us as the truck spun
180 degrees and landed in the bushes. Result: New truck totaled and it could
have been so much worse. We had absolutely no medical problems, aches or
pains resulting from this accident.
28 days later we have another new 2000 Silverado 1500, this time (due to end
of year model close-outs) with 4wd and extended cab, for "only" $3000 more
than the other truck.   Dark blue metal flake, cd, clean,  fast, shitty
mileage. What more could I want in my home away from home?
A reckless 18 year old driving less than 6 months turned our world upside
down.  Just one more reason why Lisa and I hate Long Island just a little
bit more.  I've lived here all my life and am finally anxious to leave. Too
many people, each one with a car, driving like maniacs.
With a new set of wheels, I feel like we're finally back to (atleast) square
one.

| Tom,
|
| I support your view and more power to you.  You only live one life so
enjoy
| the car.  I own a 1980 Corvette with 31,000 original miles (authentic), my
| favorite year and original color, yellow with black interior.  I never
drive
| the car, more show than go. I baby the car like I do my camera equipment.
|
| Corvette is my favorite car and I like all the years.  I think it's
American
| Institution and it's also made in America.
|
| I know, Olympus is made in Japan! but I like it's design.....
