Then you'll probably know what is a "pogey bait whistle". Bv)=

In-zackly. It had a 4 Litre V8 and would pass anything on the road but
a gas station. I dunno what it is with the German V8s. I also had a Benz
540 SEC which was a pretty coupe - but got about the same mileage as the
big Beemer. That was another one I got by letting my mouth lead a life
independent of my brain.

I drove a Versa delivering parts for the Zone. I don't fit well in that
tiny box. And we couldn't seem to keep CV joints in the darned thing.
AZ gave up on them as too "high maintenance" and switched to the Frontier
pick-ups. Which made more sense for parts delivery anyway. I really liked
the Frontier - to the point I wnet to the dealer and scared my bank book
to death pricing a new one for personal use.

Electrics are subject to short circuits. My current Beemer (a 2010 528i -
X Drine) is on a recall for a potential fire in the engine electrics. I
take it in to the dealer next week to have the "fix" applied. No cost to
me. PHEW I'm not interested in "going to heaven in a flash of fire".
