	Lucky you, used 90 and up Landcruiser and Yellow Miata are on my wish
list. I think you are lucky enough it costed only your Toyo-Jeep to find the
integrity of your X-boyfriend. It is much cheaper than finding a spouse
that does not meet your standard.

	Don't know you well enough, but I sure will let my wife drive it(if
she ever agreed to let me buy one, Ha!).
It took her three years to learn stick shift and she still don't like shift.
It is probably just me. But I try to work with my wife about the fact
we have a difference in driving skill. I will not let her feel excluded
from something I own that money can buy.
