     Thanks for the warning.  I'll stick with my 2000 Toyota Tacoma with the 
hand-cranked windows.

     Speaking of old-school, I just got myself an old crossbow rifle with a 
walnut Fajen stock and a very interesting adjustable sight.  The stock needs to 
be stripped and refinished, but I learned how to do that way back in high 
school.  Nice thing about crossbows is that the primer does not expire.
