make it TWO out of three?>>





Mark, 
If we had the number of old cars to new cars ratio that Cuba has, sure...  
but that's not so... yes, it is a case of necessity for the Cubans, due to the  
rarity of "new" cars, but they are surrounded by old "cool" cars 24/7, so all  
their cool cars probably aren't very "cool" to them. Kind of a "catch-22"... 
I  used to use the same logic when I was much younger and drank like a fish... 
if I  was sober enough to realize I was drunk, I wasn't drunk.... only when I 
had  drank enough to think I was sober, THEN I'd stop drinking....
As for not having cool cars here in the US... cool cars per square mile, I  
think we're not close to Cuba's numbers... but again, they might not even  
realize they HAVE cool cars... since that's all they have... reminds me of some  
of the campers at the 2004 convention... many from out west had never seen  
lightning bugs (a.k.a. fireflys)... I've always been around them my whole life,  
but their amazement with the little critters really touched me... I don't take 
 them for granted anymore...
;-)
Oh, and one more thing... CORVAIRS ARE COOL, NO MATTER WHAT!

How's that Mark?
