John,

My mom spent Monday afternoon at the Cascades Casino (the one in Langley) while you were with me. She said that traffic was nuts everywhere due to both high volume and construction. She heard on the radio on her way home that there was snow that afternoon (afternoon of Monday the 21st) near the Port Mann Bridge, on the Coquitlam side. And then once my dad got home a few minutes after you left, he said that he saw a few snowflakes when coming down the hill to the Queensborough Bridge after he left work. Also two days ago after you left, my mom went to get the mail and we got a letter from UBC...it’s a survey “for families of people who receive services from CLBC” that my parents will fill out. And my dad thought he might go to the casino in Cloverdale by himself for a bit this evening because he has a coupon for that casino that’s use-up-time is just about to expire and also because he just feels like getting out.

My mom wasn't feeling well yesterday (and she still feels the same today), so she had me feed my upstairs fish (the angelfish who you previously read can now only see out of one eye) yesterday afternoon because she wasn’t up to feeding them. And that was the first time I fed my own fish since before Christmas. Keep in mind that my mom also wasn’t well the weekend before last weekend, she says that she feels worse this time. I hope that Carol doesn’t get sick this often, I should be keeping these kind of things in mind incase I do end up living with her.

I only got four hours of sleep the night before you came (Sunday night), I first didn’t fall asleep until 3AM and then I slept til just after 6 and then another hour from sometime between 8 and 9 til just after 10. And I didn’t have trouble sleeping for a long time, I thought that having three increases in my medication (my Luvox) was helping with the sleep problems. I previously told you that most nights lately I’ve been getting my average amount of sleep which I’d say would be about seven hours, I even slept good the night before the last couple appointments I had. I didn’t have anything to eat or drink the day before (nothing to eat or drink on Sunday the 20th) that has caffeine, and in the message I sent you on Sunday Mar.2,2008 I detailed about that I don’t like laying in bed awake for long periods of time in the middle of the night. I had a much better sleep the night before last night (Monday night) though until I fell asleep the first time I kept having to get up and urinate and I also kept having messy toots, that wasn’t a good evening for my stomach two nights ago. And then Logan started up his car just after 8:30AM the next morning (yesterday morning), and then it sat there running for five minutes before he drove away. Logan started up his car at around ten after 8 this morning and then it sat running for five minutes again before it drove away.

My mom told me that the lead story on Monday’s Noon News before you came was they caught a suspect in the recent rash of car keyings around the Vancouver area.

We brought the green tin of white and chocolate ROYAL DANSK Danish cookies in from the garage that I got for Christmas and I had three of them for my dessert after lunch two days ago before you came, one white and two chocolate. My mom had a hard time trying to get the seal to come off when she opened the cookies for me on Monday before I had my first three, there was plastic sticky tape over where the lid meets the can and it was this tape that kept breaking into little pieces. She also had trouble two weeks ago when I had the first couple Cadbury milk chocolates that she and my dad gave me for Christmas, they were in an awkward box that was harder to open. I remember my mom complained that evening two weeks ago when she was trying to open that box of Cadburys, quote “why can’t they make these boxes easier to open.” And now she just threw away that box and put the rest of those chocolates in another tin. Now that I finished those HERSHEY’S EGGIES that we got in bulk last month from Save-On, for my evening snack last night I had half of the Cadbury Mini Eggs that we got that same day from Save-On. And there are now enough Cadbury Mini Easter Eggs left for one snack. The HERSHEY’S EGGIES looked more like the coloured milk chocolate eggs that I had the last few years at Easter though I thought the Cadbury ones tasted really good.

I’m sorry I couldn’t try any of your mom’s cookies when you were here two afternoons ago, I wrote to you previously about how I limit myself to no more than two things per day that have caffeine in them so that I don’t have the sleep problems at night. You now know first about the two chocolate Danish cookies that I had for my dessert after lunch and then for my dessert after supper that same day I planned to have an Oreo pudding cup. The cranberry juice that I had with my afternoon snack when you were here two days ago is from a big bottle of Ocean’s Spray brand that my mom got at Save-On’s case lot sale when she was there last Tuesday (the 15th), she also picked up some Neapolitan ice cream when she was there that same day. I like this stuff and sometimes I like to have ice cream in a cone for my afternoon snacks or in a dish with bananas for my evening snacks.

My mom saw the allan gummies one time a few months ago at the Zellers in Semiahmoo Mall, but hadn’t seen them there again since. And that was the only other place where she saw them besides London Drugs. When you read this part of the last message that I sent you last Sunday (the 20th), you thought I meant something like “I was disappointed that my mom got me the JOLLY RANCHER gummies instead and that I had never tried the allan gummies before.” I meant that I can’t remember whether or not I tried the JOLLY RANCHER ones before and that I was disappointed that they might’ve stopped making the allan gummies, again I thought that those allan gummies were good and were one of the best that I had experienced so far out of all the different types of gummies I tried over the years:

> ...She got me some JOLLY RANCHER gummies instead. She can’t remember and I can’t remember myself
> whether or not I had these before, I guess I’ll find out when I try them. I am disappointed though, I thought
> those allan gummies were really good and they were one of the best ever out of all the different types of
> gummies I tried over the years.

I don’t know why you misread that it was “my friend,” Mac, who my dad picked up and then gave a ride home last Friday (the 18th) or why you thought that it could’ve been some other person we know named Mac:

> ...A few minutes before my dad got home on that same day (on Friday), he phoned us to let us know that
> they were waiting for the traffic light at 152nd and 16th when he (my dad) saw my friend, Mac, cross in
> front of them. My dad gave Mac a ride home after he dropped off the rest of the people in his carpool...

After my dad saw Mac cross the street in front of him, he dropped off Janice who just lives around the corner from that intersection and then he drove back and picked up Mac who was waiting at a bus stop outside in the cold. I guess that was nice of my dad to give Mac a ride home instead of making him wait for a bus out in the cold. Once my dad picked Mac up, he then drove back to our street to drop off Wen in his carpool. Wen was the last person to be dropped off and Janice was the second to last, my dad then drove Mac home after he dropped off Wen.

I remember when you were here two days ago you told me about how your definition of “cheap” means that maybe my cousin, Jenny, didn’t like the “cheap” rings that her boyfriend, Danny, gave her. Jenny doesn’t have a lot of money and she just happened to find this one ring that looked like it was more expensive:

> ...And my cousin, Jenny, called us in the evening that same day (on Friday), she said that she gave
> Danny the ring for his birthday and he gave her a couple cheap rings. Jenny didn’t know how
> much the ring is worth that she found and gave to Danny. Jenny also said that same phone call
> two evenings ago that she was starting to get her cold back.

You thought that the reason why I chose on my own for use to watch “Squeal of Fortune” was because this one has muppets in it, a lot of the YouTube videos that I sent you links to have muppets in them and here again is why I said in the previous message that I made my own decision for us to watch this one:

> • Sesame Street Game Show Sketches: Squeal of Fortune
> This is one video that I decided on my own for us to watch, as soon as I saw it under the “Related Videos” I
> said “let’s watch this one” because I remember this was one of my favorite generic Sesame Street
> segments of All Time...a muppet spoof of “Wheel of Fortune.” And a good choice I made on your behalf for
> us to watch this because The Count is one of the contestants.

> • John Goodman on Sesame Street:
> Another video that I decided on my own for us to watch because John Goodman played in a TV series
> I watched a few years ago called “Center of the Universe” plus I saw him in “Arachnophobia<font color="#FF0000">,” “The
> Borrowers,” and he did one of the voices in “
Monsters Inc.”

My mom saw the weather forecast on today’s Noon News and tomorrow doesn’t look good, they’re predicting rain, clouds, wind, etc and they’re also predicting that Friday and Saturday will be better days so I thought for my snack when you’re here tomorrow afternoon I might have some Fruit Mania with my cranberry juice. And depending how I feel on Monday, I thought that maybe we could taste test A&W’s onion rings for my snack that afternoon, at the food court one in Semiahmoo Mall. Sorry, John, but it doesn’t look like we’ll be going out in your “new Ferrari“ tomorrow.

I guess I have a pragmatic personality. I told you I’m not gunna worry about whether someone buys me a ring or a tattoo either for my birthday or for Christmas knowing at least as for the tattoo that I never plan to have one anywhere on my body because those things are “permanent” meaning that they last forever. You asked me if I ever had the type of tattoo put on me when I was a kid and that only lasts for a day, all I can think of are these tattoos that came with a couple Power Rangers action figures that I bought a long time ago though I didn’t mind them and wasn’t like you who wanted the tattoo to come off after it had only been on for a couple hours.

After you said when you were here two days ago that you didn’t put the ping pong ball under the dog’s ear, I said that my mom didn’t do it and I know I didn’t do it. You then asked me if maybe my dad did it. Even though I then said to you that I thought probably not because it isn’t like him to do things like that though I also said when I said this that sometimes you just never know, my dad said that he did do it. He found the ping pong ball on the floor in our downstairs computer room and didn’t know where to put it. Once I showed my mom your “allan gummie boat,” she said that “we’re getting quite a collection there.” I took a picture of your “allan gummie boat,” speaking about which, next to my mom’s latest sculpture after my dad charged up my camera the day before and then we found your ping pong ball two evenings ago (on Monday evening) that you’ve been waiting three weeks for us to find, we found it in our living room. My mom said quote “how silly, it’s on top of the dog’s head.”

My dad walked up to Revy yesterday at lunch and got a new flick switch for the wall in my bathroom upstairs that allows the ceiling fan to come on automatically when the humidity gets so high. We’ve been looking for a long time for replacement parts for underneath that fan’s cover and thought that they don’t make parts for this type of bathroom fan anymore until the guy at RONA said to my dad yesterday that he can bring the fan into Revy and they’ll replace the parts for him. And if the fan still doesn’t work like we want it to after we do this, then more work will have to be done on my bathroom ceiling before a newer and quieter fan can be installed.

When I told my mom that you were looking at that pamphlet where I scanned the image that I sent you of the 2008 Honda Accord, she said that it sounds like you would really like a new car. And there’s a coupon inside that pamphlet for $1,000 off the new Accords. Too bad that green Honda Accord we saw on our walk last Thursday afternoon (the 17th) wasn’t for sale, it didn’t have a sunroof and it looked more like my parents’ 2001 model. I saw two days ago when we looked at the Honda Accord that the one in this image also looks like my parent’s current model while for some reason the one in the scanned image from the pamphlet is more the look that you know I didn’t like. Because the image on Wikipedia is of a 2006 or 2007 model, I wonder if maybe 2007 was the last year of my parents’ model. I thought that the one in the pamphlet looked more like a Volkswagen Passat or Jetta until I went and looked at the Jetta’s image on Wikipedia, which is of a 2008 model, and saw that it looks more like my parents’ 2001 Honda even though I still won’t ride in the Jetta, the Passat, or any Volkswagen at all. Maybe it was an older model of a car built by Volkswagen that looked like the 2008 Honda Accord. Maybe we could just check out the Honda Accord anyway when you’re here tomorrow afternoon; see what the current model’s features are, see what it’s all about, etc.

When looking at cars I only pay attention to things like its colours (both exterior and interior), seating, cargo, and “electronics/stereo systems" but I don’t pay attention to engines and wheels which are things that I don’t know a lot about so these are things that I leave for my parents to look at. I’ll let you know however that first my mom’s current Honda has mud flap frames on the wheel wells to prevent mud from being thrown up onto the vehicle and I’ll also say that we got the basic model when we bought my mom’s Honda seven years ago knowing that we didn’t want a sunroof. The only deluxe feature my dad paid for on the Honda was its Anti-Lock brakes. And just like you, I too would rather not have a car that doesn’t have air conditioning.

I went back to the sites we looked at two days ago and took notes about all that interests me. Now I took a lot of pages of notes so I included them in this message’s second PS. If you don’t have time to read all my notes right away just scroll down to the bottom and read the last couple paragraphs including about which vehicles we’ll be looking at tomorrow. And if your internet is not working tomorrow morning, don’t forget that as long as Microsoft Outlook is the application in which you receive my messages you can read them offline.

See you tomorrow at 1PM.

-Neil

P.S. Here are all of the websites you and I visited two days ago in the exact order that we visited them followed after links from the above message:

Wikipedia image: 2006 or 2007 Honda Accord
Wikipedia image: 2008 Volkswagen Jetta
Wikipedia image: Ferrari F40 [picture taken in Germany, don’t know what year model]
Wikipedia page: Neapolitan ice cream

allancandy.com
ReichmannHauer Capital Partners
Honda Accord
Ferrari
Ferrari F40
Chevrolet Cavalier (Wikipedia page)
Chevrolet Cavalier (Official site)
2008 AVEO
Buick (Wikipedia page)
General Motors of Canada's Buick lineup of vehicles
Mercury Milan (Wikipedia page)
Mercuryvehicles.com - Milan - Home

PS2. Here are some of my notes from the websites that we visited:

• Ferrari F40: It says here that this vehicle has a mid-engine, all of the vehicles we had all had front engines. My dad said that mid-engines are mostly used in fancy sports cars, I think any vehicle with a mid-engine might be another type of vehicle that I want to make it through my life without riding in. And I’m not sure about this car’s interior shown in this image, it looks different and might not be comfortable though I’d need to see a better image of its interior before I confirm this.

• Chevrolet Cavalier: I didn’t know until we looked just a couple days ago that 2005 was its last year of production, go to their website and see either the Cobalt or the AVEO. My friend, Mac, told me that the Cobalt uses Honda engines because they’re not as expensive as Chevy’s own engines, and because they won’t use their own products I think Chevy’s just too cheap.

Excerpt from here:
> ...The Cavalier is widely cited as the most successful of Chevrolet's long line of cars aimed at
> combatting the influx of compact imported vehicles, starting with the Corvair, Vega, Monza and
> the Chevette, with the Cavalier leading up to current Cobalt...

Never heard of such Chevy models like Vega, Monza and Chevette. And after we looked at the above link (the page in Wikipedia), we then went to the Official website. I prefer the sedan to the hatchback, so that’s why we then clicked on the blue sedan on the left where we then found this comparison between the AVEO LS and LT models:

Aveo2008 Sedan LS: Starts at $12,830*

LS
Highlights:

• Chevy 100,000 mile/5-year transferable Powertrain Limited Warranty (whichever comes first) plus Roadside Assistance and Courtesy Transportation. See dealer for details.
• Standard seat-mounted side-impact air bags(1)
• NEW Tire Pressure Monitor
• Carpeted front and rear floor mats
• AM/FM stereo with dual front and rear coaxial speakers
• Auxiliary input jack
• 60/40 split-folding rear seat
• Cloth fabric
• Choice of woodgrain-appearance accents with Neutral interior or metallic-grain interior accents with Charcoal interior
• Air conditioning with air filtration system
• Tilt steering column
• Driver armrest
• 14-inch steel wheels with full bolt-on wheel covers

Aveo2008 Sedan LT Starts at $14,580*

LT
Highlights:

• Chevy 100,000 mile/5-year transferable Powertrain Limited Warranty (whichever comes first) plus Roadside Assistance and Courtesy Transportation. See dealer for details.
• Standard seat-mounted side-impact air bags(1)
• NEW Tire Pressure Monitor
• Chrome door handles
• AM/FM stereo with CD/MP3 player
• Six-speaker premium sound
• Auxiliary input jack
• 60/40 split-folding rear seat
• Deluxe Cloth fabric
• Cruise control
• Power Door Locks
• Remote Keyless Entry with content-theft-deterrent system
• 15-inch aluminum wheels • Foglamps • Heated, power, foldaway, body-color mirrors

• I wonder now if the Roadside Assistance is also available in Canada now that we know “OnStar” might be available in Canada through “BCAA."
• I think I’d be more interested in having “Carpeted front and rear floor mats” rather than having “Chrome door handles,” body-color door handles would be my preference assuming that “body-color” means the door handles will be the same colour as the rest of the car’s exterior. And my dad said that our current Honda has body-color door handles while his old Hillman out in the workshop has chrome ones.
• I said when you were here two days ago that I thought my mom’s Honda has coaxial speakers (which is what the LS model has) while the LT has a “CD/MP3 player” which I assume means a CD player that has capability to play MP3 discs. Now I asked my dad about coaxial speakers and he thinks that “coaxial” is just the “type” of speakers that are in the LS model, he also thinks that almost any car should have the same capability that my mom’s Honda has which would allow you to switch between the stereo speakers (IE have either just the front or back speakers turned on while the other ones are turned off). This is all my dad knows about “coaxial speakers,” he says that he doesn’t know a lot about speakers in general. He thought that you might know more about coaxial speakers, so I told him that you didn’t seem to have heard of them.
• I know that the backseat in my mom’s Honda can fold down, but does “60/40 split-folding rear seat” mean like in my dad’s Subaru where you can choose to have only one rear seat folded down at a time? In my mom’s Honda, the entire backseat has to be folded down at once. Either way, I think it’s a good feature to have incase you ever need to carry extra cargo.
• Hmm, I wonder what the difference is between “Cloth fabric” and “Deluxe Cloth fabric.”
• The LS model lets you choose whether or not you want a woodgrain interior, I prefer not to have woodgrain.
• The LT model has Cruise control, my mom’s Honda has that too and so did our 1986 Honda.
• The LT model also comes with Power Door Locks meaning that all four doors can be locked as well as unlocked from the driver’s door, my mom’s Honda also has this capability.
• The LS model says that it comes with air conditioning while the LT one has “Remote Keyless Entry with content-theft-deterrent system,” “Remote Keyless Entry” means that it comes with a remote you can use to lock and unlock the car’s doors which is something that my mom’s Honda does not have.
• The LS model says that it comes with a “Tilt steering column” which I assume is the type of steering wheel you told me about that can tilt up and down.

Now click on the link at the bottom that says “Complete list of standard & optional features.” And I wonder why we didn’t see this key at the top:

EXTERIOR:
> Glass tinted

Incase this means that all of the car’s windows are tinted instead of just the rear ones, I asked my dad if it’s a safe idea to have the front windows tinted. He said that you can tint the rear ones as dark as you want while you’re not allowed to tint the front ones any more than just a tiny little bit, maybe this means that the AVEO’s front windows are only tinted just a tiny little bit. And none of the windows on my mom’s Honda are currently tinted, even if we had just the back ones tinted I wouldn’t benefit because you know that I sit upfront most times when I’m riding in the car.

> Spoiler trunk-mounted

This one’s optional on both the LS and LT models, I always thought that a spoiler might be a neat thing to have sometime.

> Wiper rear, with washer

This feature is only available on the two models that I’m not interested in (the two on the left), but I guess I shouldn’t be as concerned about this as I am about other things hence my mom’s Honda does not have a wiper in the rear window. And my dad says that rear wipers are mostly used on SUVs, station wagons, etc while not on most sedans because the sedan’s rear window is sloped therefore allowing water to run off better when it rains.

INTERIOR:
> Air bags1 frontal
> Air bags1 seat-mounted, side-impact, driver and front passenger

It’s always a good idea to have air bags, both my mom’s Honda and my dad’s Subaru have these.

> Air conditioning with air-filtration system

Now here it says that both of the models I am interested in (the two on the right) come with air-con.

> Ashtray and lighter

All four models come with this. Though none of us three (neither my parents or myself) are smokers, a cigarette lighter is a good thing to have in the car incase you ever need to use an inverter to power a TV, power a laptop, heat up a cup of soup, charge a cell phone’s battery, etc.

> Console floor with storage compartment

I believe this would be what the type of thing in my mom’s Honda is called that’s between the two front seats with an armrest on top that you can open, lift up, and then you have a storage (cargo) compartment. And a few features above this one (on the webpage) where it says “Armrest driver seat” for all four models, does this also refer to the top of the console between both of the front seats? I know that my mom’s Honda also has an armrest on the inside of both front doors.

> Cruise Control

Now I see that cruise control is optional on the LS model.

> Door locks rear, child security

Even though this feature is included on all four models, we don’t need to worry about whether or not the rear doors have child locks seeing as how we don’t take any little kids in my parents’ cars.

> Door locks power

I see that Power Door Locks is also optional on the LS model.

> Floor covering full-floor carpet

I prefer carpet to any other type of interior flooring on all my vehicles.

> Floor mats carpeted, front and rear

My mom’s Honda has front and rear floor mats.

> Fuel-filler door release

Because I won’t be driving the car, this is one of the features that I don’t need to pay attention to.

> LATCH (Lower Anchors and Top tethers for Children) system for child safety seats

If I am correct in assuming that this feature will only benefit me if I wanted to install a baby’s carseat in the back of my vehicle, then we also don’t need to worry about this feature just like we also don’t need to worry about whether or not the vehicle comes with child safety locks.

> Map pockets driver and front passenger, seatback

My mom’s Honda has map pockets in both its driver and front passenger seatbacks, this would be a good thing to have in the seatback of both seats.

> Safety belts three-point (all seating positions), height-adjustable front pretensioners and load limiters

If these do mean the same thing as seatbelts, of course we’d want seatbelts. What kind of a car doesn’t have seatbelts?

> Steering Wheel mounted audio controls

We never had a car before that had controls for the stereo on the steering wheel, looks like this option is only available on the LT model.

> Sunglasses holder

This feature is included on all four models, my mom’s Honda has this and she puts her sunglasses in it.

> Sunroof

You know that I’m not gunna worry about this one, this is only available on the LT model.

> Tire Pressure Monitor

This sounds like a good feature to have if it automatically lets you know when one of your tires starts to get low, this way you won’t have to keep getting out to check your tires.

> Theft-deterrent system engine immobilizer

I believe this is what my mom’s car has, an “immobilizer” meaning that my mom’s car can’t be started without its key. It says here once you click on “INTERIOR” that it is not available on any of the four models even though it says above that it is available on the LT model.

> Trunk Emergency Trunk Release Handle, glow-in-the-dark

Would this be what my mom’s Honda has where you can press a button/lever from the driver’s control area to open the trunk?

> Warning tones headlamps, safety belts and key-in-ignition with door ajar

My mom’s Honda only has a “door ajar” on its driver’s door, do all four of these models have the “door ajar” on all four doors?

AUDIO SYSTEMS:
> AM/FM stereo

I can’t believe that this is not available for the LT model, do you mean that all I can do is play an external one through the car’s speakers while plugged into the cigarette lighter?

> MP3 player

I see that the MP3 disc capability is also an option for the LS model.

SEATING:
> Front buckets with recline, driver's seat armrest, tiltable head restraints and convenience hooks

I prefer the front seats in my vehicle to be bucket seats.

> Rear seat 60/40 split-folding with height-adjustable head restraints for outboard passengers

This would be the first vehicle I’d ever seen that has adjustable headrests in the backseat, my mom’s current 2001 Honda doesn’t have adjustable headrests in the back seat and neither did out 1986 Honda.

> Seat adjuster driver, manual height and lumbar

You told me that this is what the driver seat in your Camry has, we never had a vehicle before that has this feature.

> Cloth fabric (LS)
> Deluxe Cloth fabric (LT)

I prefer either cloth or charcoal seating to leather, my cousin David use to have a 2002 Dodge Dakota pick up truck when he worked for Trinity Power before he started his own business. It had a black interior and charcoal seating, I sat inside his truck when he had it and I thought his charcoal seating felt nice and soft.

> Perforated Neutral leatherette seating

No thank you.

Now click on the button at the top that says “PHOTO GALLERY.” Here are my comments about the car’s exterior and interior:

I’m not sure but it looks to me like the red sedan in the above image looks like the 2008 Honda Accord, I need to see more images of the AVEO four door sedan exterior before I confirm this.

When I asked you on Monday, you thought that the front seats’ headrests could be adjusted further back than what is shown in the above image just like what is shown in the image on the left so that my head’s not leaning too far forward as shown in the image on the right:

LT model EXTERIOR: The LT model comes in; Victory Red, Bright Blue, Summer Yellow, Spicy Orange, Cosmic Silver, Black, Sport Red, Summit White, Medium Gray, and Icelandic Blue.

• I don’t know whether it would be the “Cosmic Silver” or the “Medium Gray” that is closer to the colour of my mom’s Honda.
• As for Summer Yellow, I don’t want a yellow car.
• Spicy Orange, no thank you.
• Eew, that “Summit White” looks like it’s an ugly colour.
• And you also had me try the “Icelandic Blue.” Looks like it might be okay, it does look better than some of the ugly colours I gave you my thoughts about in the last few above points. And I think that chrome door handles actually look good with this colour (Icelandic Blue).

LT model INTERIOR:
Looks like I prefer the black charcoal seating to the “Neutral” Deluxe Cloth.

• Buick:

Excerpt from here: This article is about the brand of car. For the Scottish name, see Buick (name). For the Sawyer
Brown album, see Buick (album).

I didn’t know until we looked up vehicles two days ago that Buick can also refer to a person’s last name, and my last name “McRae” is also a Scottish name. I also never heard about “Buick” being pronounced “bjuːɪk” (with weird letters), every time I heard that word on TV so far they’ve always pronounced it “Buick.”

Now this message is ten pages long, I will send you my comments about some of the other vehicles this weekend. If I ever send you a message that is anymore than ten pages long, it won’t be a book...it will be an encyclopedia. And here are some vehicles we could look up tomorrow including the ones that you thought we could look at:

• Mercury Sable
• Ford Taurus [reference to this model on Chevrolet Cavalier’s page in Wikipedia]
• Toyota Camry (current generation) [reference to this model on Chevrolet Cavalier’s page in Wikipedia]
• Nissan Altima
• Honda Accord

See you tomorrow at 1PM.
