Err, Guy, I don't want to wake you up, but you can't even affort a
"bromscooter" (that's dutch and I don't know how to say it in English, but
it's some kind of Moped) how could you ever buy one? I know, you can like
something without having it, but knowing you I'd say you're talking
nonsense...

Ok, here is my *coveted* opinion on the subject <rather large, bigger
than the entire state of Alaska cheshire cat evil grin!>
West-will probably have a a car of the saving-for-the-wedding-so-why
spend-money-on-an-expensive-car-type;nice, cheap Honda Civic, with a
Garfield stuck on the back window, thanks to kylen
Vansen-A Hummer? do you realize how much gas she'd have to pay for? What
kind of job are you thnking she's going to get? ENTRY LEVEL! (like
everyone else) more like something to the effect of a
Jeep-cum-convertible (i saw one last year, it was so cute because it was
a sport utility with a convertible top.)
Cooper-he can drive? no matter; let me think...hmm...a motorcycle,
maybe, if he particularly likes bugs in his face, hair, etc.
Umm...umm...I've got it. A nice big old rusty truck. Don't laugh!
Damphousse-what's this convertible thing? i see her like my mom-she
might WANT a convertible, but she may need a station wagon's size to
balance out her family (if she has one) and work. she'd probably get a
solid minivan or sport-utility if she really felt like having a little
daring in her car.
McQueen-you may laugh, him being American and all, but i see him on a
bicycle, yo know? a mountain bike with all the crap that comes with it.
Boss Ross-a cadillac. or a bmw. one of those thingies. or a used rolls.
Elroy-a skateboard. i don't think he's the kind of character to act like
what he is, you know?
Feliciti-hmm...an old lady's car. like a light blue cadillac. shock
value.
Butts-the same pickup as Hawkes. ugly, gas-guzzling kind of thing.
Winslow-anything with a stereo and hydarulics.
Kylen-she's driving with Nathan, of course.
Chigs-an ugly boxy car. blend in while spooging.

Who would want YOU as a doctor? Well, I don't, my condition would only get
worse... ;)

Yeah, sure, from the '20-s! Don't pretend if you're a car-expert or
something similar...

Well, no offence, but likely you didn't check, because triple co doesn't
exist at KLM, neither at Martinair, Transavia or Air Holland. The third
person in the cocpit is the BWK and a BWK can't even fly a plane... When
you've finished your education at one of the three Dutch flight-academies,
you just become co-pilot. First at the smaller planes, like the 737 and
airbus A310, later also at the 747 and 777.

In the Pilot, when that guy is trying to hang Hawkes, you get to see
a police car and they look funky! All weird... go watch your tapes
(if you have tapes. If you don't...) I remember it because it was about
11pm at night, and all of a sudden there's this strange car.. I'm
guessing the other cars would look similar to that one.

Also, when Nathan was escorted off of Shuttle Launch Site (I forget what the
name is, Francis something?) He got off at a truck with wheels. So I think
most cars are still like the ones we have today. Maybe they haven't
discovered how to run electric cars faster than we'd like it to be. Maybe
AeroTech has something to do with that!!!

Well, ain't I glad I don't even WANT to know more than you about cars. The
only thing I know about them is that they are making a hole in the
ozonelayer... And because of that we're all going to die! AAAAH!!! ;)

Then why did you start a discusion about it?

I was just indicating that there isn't a third flyer anywhere... So I
mentioned the other airlines of the Netherlands.

Yah, sure, you're being trained as a pilot and they hire you as a steward
or something... Well, I ain't gonna fly with KLM no more, what if they also
put stewards in the pilot-seat! ;)

OK, glad to be back Guy, BTW sorry about that wiseguy stuff... I didn't
mean that. OK well I did mean that, but it wasn't..ehm.. ah well, doesn't
matter does it?

As far as I've seen them in the ep's, the army drives still in jeeps and
tanks, so why would the normal cars have changed. Maybe some new models and
new petrol (He3 or something alike?). Dunno....
