Lynn, you really missed my point.  Most people borrow money to buy even a 
'used' car.  I agree with everything you said, though, except I'm still not 
sure about the 'day of rweckoning'.  Right now, it still seems to be the ones 
who did everyhting we think was wrong, who are doin g the best, and are also 
the ones the politicians make sure to protect.  By the way, I've never heard 
of 'punch buggy', that must be a yankee game.  Daddy just said " sit back and 
be quiet"  ;-)
