Not since working for a defense contractor in Iran in '78 have I seen so many acronyms.

For those of you who need a translation:

2001 Mazda Protege ES with a 2.0 Litre Inline-4, 5 speed manual, Power Windows, Power Locks, Power Mirrors, Silver Exterior, Black Interior, Sunroof, Spoilier, Air Conditioning, Tint, Allow Wheels, Side Impact Airbags, Anti-lock Braking System, and Cruise Control.

I'm guess there weren't any Protege MP3s in your area?

Erm... The MP3 is more expensive than the ES. Last I heard, Liz didn't quite have Scrooge-McDuck-swimming-in-the-vault levels of income yet...

I was talking a used MP3. They had them in the 2001 model year as well. So it shouldn't be that much more expensive then a used Protege ES.

You know, that 5-speed manual transmission is the best accessory you could get. [Razz] Learn it. Use it. Love it. Play with it. It will give you pleasure like you have never had before.

This obsession with manual transmission is reaching dangerous levels.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Yes, Liz, you will need to be prayed for.

Do you accept prayers to the Buddha, Rama, Yahweh, Allah, or just plain God?

My friends used to call a car that had cruise control on a manual transmission a "Lazy White Boy's Clutch."

This is a car joke that I never understood. Especially since they had one, and they were not white boys themselves.

Er, hmm. Don't get it. The only thing that's different about CC on a standard is that it disengages when you press the clutch.

"So [a used MP3] shouldn't be that much more expensive then a used Protege ES."

Given the features of Liz' new car, there's a difference of a couple thousand, according to the Blue Book values.

I suppose it could just come down to them being idiots. It never made sense to me, but then, I was a white boy. We are apparently lame in all things, and could never understand the subtle humor of other ethnic groups.
