Hey Ed,
Rum comes from Barbados, but the diet coke is American. The early VW's were  
good cars, Fuel efficient and simple to work on. 30 miles per gallon no matter 
 how you drove it. German yes, but at least well built. I could drive my old 
VW  for hours. Sitting in a Honda or a Toyota gives me hemorrhoids. I have 
always  owned American cars (except for the VW's) and have had great service from 
them.  Our 92 Pontiac Grand Prix had 315,000 miles on it when we gave it away 
and it is  still on the road. Japanese cars are way over rated in my opinion 
and really  uncomfortable. Buy American people. Your neighbors jobs depends on 
it. I can't  see me sailing a Sam Pan(SP?) anywhere in the near future.
 
Rummy......I think I need another drink. Honey.....where's the  rum?
