Was somebody in either Witchita or Texas that was doing proper restorations back when on your provided vehicle for time and material. Think it was $20k 25 years ago and he was only going to do ghias

Gone are the days when such a compact car would be regarded a good family-car in my country...

re: "MILF"
I am certainly not what is usualy meant by that.
However overly large vehicles seem to have become more popular regardless of gender or age.

I suggest a google search for urban dictionary. In America the term is not considered polite, much like your schleicher.

Made me look. It appears to be a proper name, I've never seen it used as a slang term for a body part or whatever.

The acronym may not be polite but it's a term of endearment.

Thought so, which would be a D'oh.

No body parts involved, more of a personality aberration not considered generally harmful but annoying to elderly.

Besides some actual preference for a bigger ride just to show-off, it seems like people are being actually forced into buying bigger when something smaller and more efficient which could easily get the job done turns into unobtainium.
