    Emergency! TV show

    Emergency was the Sat night family show when I was growing up, never missed it, near the end they did a few 2 hr episodes, one in Seattle. I tried watching a few episodes the other day, but with reality shows now, the emergency room seems too sedate.

    Done RPDE at California Speedway and Daytona, Daytona is way easy one you get over your intimidation factor, plus the instructor was in the car with you instead of the lead follow they did at California.

    Dear Automakers, Build something to last more that 60k miles.

    I think the pinto got a bad rap, I was going to buy one as a parts runner car. I read about that lawsuit. If that lady hadn't stalled and and got hit by a truck doing 60mph, I think it wouldn't have had that reputation. What car wouldn't have a chance of exploding into flames if you got hit...
