Greetings Beth and other Workers in Accursed Lands,
 
I just flogged my poor old GM van for 500 bucks to some poor devil I hope I never see again. She had 400k+ km (that's to the moon and half way back eh) and she was more of a pet than a mode of transportation.  The old grey heifer faithfully carried us across the continent a dozen times or so. Even drove through Cleveland occasionally, and I liked it, then again, I've been called a mother of sorts, so Rob's right again eh!
 
Anyway, each time I started the old nag up she spewed out a cloud of blue black midnight oil that choked out several species of small furry animals. If that van had been a horse, I'd a shot her long ago...
Sorry, Beth's comment about the mdnitoil vanity plates got me reminiscing.
 
(cough)

PS Does anybody know what kind of cars the Oils drive? I'm picturing pick up trucks, or oxen, or something like that...

Well, shit, at least it's not a Volvo. But I've been thinking: maybe if
I got a vanity plate MDNITOIL + neon tubes for the underside, it might
look less like a mommycar. Whaddaya think?

PS Jeff: How do you pronounce "whinging?" I live one city south of
Cleveland, so I might need to know how to say that word properly.
