Interesting how you suggest someone gaining in IQ, yet you incorrectly show me
as making a quote; which I did not make. Who needs the IQ point raise???

Isn't that an old rule???

I saw one of them AMC Eagle 4WDs yesterday at the Home Despot!

Didn't think there were any more around here.

A few years ago, I drove with my boss and our European partner from
Ottawa to Quebec City. 5 hours in his Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with
the B.M.F. V8 in it. Talk about an uncomfortable ride! I'm 6'4" and
could not find a comfortable position in the back seat. Whenever we
stopped for gas (It was more than once!) I could not believe how long
the numbers on the pump kept turning!

We had to go on-site -- which meant going on a hydro-line two-lane
track. I couldn't believe the grumbling!

I plugged it into googlefight, and this is what I got:

"It's so busy no one goes there anymore" Berra (1 results) versus "No one
goes there nowadays, it's too crowded." Berra
(98 results)
The winner is: "No one goes there nowadays, it's too crowded." Berra


So apparently, one person agrees with you, but nobody else does.

But I also got: It's so crowded nobody goes there" Berra (256 results)

So that one may be closer to what he said originally.

Then I got: "NOBODY GOES THERE ANYMORE. IT'S TOO CROWDED" Berra (582
results)

That one had more matches than all, so I'd suspect that's closer to the
correct one. I'd tend to give that one a bit more weight. My reason is that
that's how it appears on Page 106 of "When You Come to a Fork in the Road,
Take It! Inspiration and Wisdom from One of Baseball's Greatest Heroes" by
Yogi Berra. But even that might not be how he originally said it.

Incidentally, I didn't get it wrong. I was quoting somebody else's post who
was quoting somebody else's post.

Actually, you did. My quote showed two levels deep for it, which meant that
I said that you were quoting somebody else when you posted it. But I agree
it would have been better if I had the attribution for the original poster
as well. But then again, even he was quoting somebody.

The other problem is that people started top posting to a bottom posting
thread, which made it hard to follow, and you quoted somebody's signature,
which is not necessary. I'd suggest you use Quotefix since you are using
OE. That would have prevented this.

Well, with the exception of Volvos and Fords, you do seem to have good taste
in cars. Maybe the extra 50 IQ points is not needed. :-)
I do like tricked out Ford Mustangs and it seems there are some nice
Volvo sports cars, but in general I think Ford is short for
"found on the road dead" and/or "fixed or repaired daily". Volvos still
tend to remind me of soccer mommies who have "Baby On Board" signs
on their cars and who drive annoyingly slowly.

Getting back to the subject, I think an Abrams M1A2 Main Battle Tank is
just the perfect thing for rush hour traffic. It is fairly fast and
can clear a nice path through a traffic jam! Plus, it allows one
to easily obtain free fuel since most gas station attendents will
run away screaming when they see you drive up...
