On an unrelated except that it has to do with cars bit, I think it
would be neat if Audi would come out with a new car and call it
"Innie".

Or if Mercury/GM came out with a "de Sade" signature edition of the
"Marquis" (if that car hasn't been killed).

Why do I think the NHTSA would have a problem with studded seat belts
and a ball-gag airbag?

I was shocked by the language of Molly McAnailly Burke's piece on
lesbian rockers, and your allowing it in a family newspaper. The
offending phrase "five writhing beauties hot for each other" should be
"five writhing beauties hot for one another," since *each other* applies
only to two.

Some of those tank-like road vehicles have a half-vinyl roof, which
makes the transition looks like some kind of collar anyway.

The vinyl roof was a rather strange automobile fashion. An extra cost
option giving look of a convertible minus the fun of open air driving.

That picture was taken five miles from here. If you don't like the
Peel--the Lane Museum also has the largest vehicle to ever visit the
streets of this city, the LARC-LX:
