[ale] way OT - used car buying tips - yea or nea

[Jim Kinney]

I can talk about my car here all I want 'cause my tag is LINUX1 and it's
paid for with Linux admin work.

2005 Saturn Vue (orphan car) with 4 cylinder, 5 speed manual, leather seats
and a propensity for the metal tubing in the AC system to crack and fail.
Probably rwcycled Budweiser cans.
