Hey, I'm lucky just to be alive at all.

Not a scofflaw, I've got jury duty toward the end of the month.

Sorry. I'm sure I *don't*. You can pigeonhole me as a social anarchist, or an agorist.

Niky -- I have some idea what your part of the world is like, I flew right over it once. What you describe sounds like me being in computer startups in the 80s. I was at Comdex at Las Vegas, standing at an elevator when this young lady asked me if I wanted to party. What I wanted was to explain that I made $4.50 an hour to her $100, and how long it would take me to recoup, and then replace the lost income; but it seemed pointless.

What I notice is that you seem to drive a lot of different cars (speaking as someone who's driven the same dang thing for 40+ years), and keep track of all their parts. I'm curious about those $1000 1-liter engines from India. What transmission do they use?
