that this should get us fired up, like when Car Craft once had a photo of a Camaro that was being eaten by the jungle slowly... and the submission was accompanied by the phrase "we lost one, but let it be remembered by saving others" (Adam Rosenbaum, Portland Maine) from http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=428585&page=561it reminded me ofthat I posted a couple years ago http://
