Walking may not work according to George Harrison: Taxman Lyrics Artist(Band):The Beatles Let me tell you how it will be, There痴 one for you, nineteen for me, 舛ause I知 the Taxman, Yeah, I知 the Taxman. Should five per cent appear too small, Be thankful I don稚 take it all. 舛ause I知 the Taxman, Yeah, I知 the Taxman. (If you drive a car ), I値l tax the street, (If you try to sit ), I値l tax your seat, (If you get too cold ), I値l tax the heat, (If you take a walk ), I値l tax your feet. Next: The Nike GPS

I used to drive from Alpharetta to Stone Mountain for Dwight Harrison VW. Well worth it and the best dealership I ever had the experience of visiting. For a good dealership a 30 or even 40 minute drive is well worth it.

"Yep that is a railroad watch and as I said they are much sought after. They were the precision time piece of their day." For you watch and clock junkies, and especially GG, I highly recommend a small, but very entertaining book about John Harrison. The book is entitled, "Longitude: The True Story of the Lone Genius who solved the Greatest Scientific Problem of His Time. Fantastic story about an unschooled engineering genius who, in the 1700s, set about to prove that there was a mechanical solution to the problem of calculating longitude in response to a competition established by Parliament. It took him 40 years and, I believe, 4 versions, to come up with the precursor to the modern chronograph--a timepiece unaffected by the motion of the sea. His last version (IV) looks very much like an oversize pocket watch. All four timepieces can be seen at the British Royal Observatory, outside of London in Greenwich. All four timepieces still work (although they are not wound and running currently) and the first three look like beautiful sculptures. The 4th--and competition winning--piece is considered a priceless treasure of the British Empire. If you are in England you really owe it to yourselves to check them out. The book is only 200 small pages, but there is a larger, illustrated version with photo repros of the the timepieces as well as period drawings, paintings and engravings. Gogiboy

Very few people in America cared about old cars until the 1980s, when the hobby took off. Page 8 of my web site shows the streets full of Studebakers in South Bend outside the Studebaker and Avanti II factory during the annual meet of the Studebaker Drivers Club in 1970 or 1971. http://stude.net/rollingalong.html Page 3 of my web site shows the Lark we took to the George Harrison Concert for Bangladesh on August 1, 1971. I went to the Studebaker meet with two friends that year before we went to New York. I am certain of the approximate date because my yellow 1960 Lark is in the top row image on the right and because I took my Avanti in the summer of 1972. I joined the Studebaker Driver's Club in July 1968. Some of us have been at this a long time. It is a good thing that Studebaker did not do model change-overs every year. That is why the Model A Ford Club and Volkswagen beetle club have so many cars that are still running.

You do make excellent points (as always). The internet isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Some people are always going to try and pit dealer against dealer. Competition is a part of EVERY business. You can't win them all. Sometimes you are better off letting the customer go to the other dealership & losing the business, rather than deal with the migraines from the grinder. Like anything in life, as long as you do the right thing, you can't worry about anything else. People in "prices paid" forums post their out the door prices or maybe even just the price paid for whatever they just bought or if not to the prices paid forum, to friends or business associates. There are just too many variables in the equation of buying a car to walk into a dealer with a straight face and say: "Mr. & Mrs. Harrison paid $XX,XXX for their SUV & I want their deal" or "Some guy on edmunds told me he paid $XX,XXX for his car, do that deal and I'll buy right now." On the buyer's side, there is the actual selling price of the vehicle. Trade or no trade? If there was a trade, how much? What was the year, make, model, miles, condition, color, options? Was there any negative equity rolled into the payment? Besides Honda/Acura's way of building cars with no options (only model designations/ with or without automatic), how can people assume the car is even remotely the same? BMW makes a stripper 328i that stickers for $34K & change or you can option the same car up with an MSRP of $50K. Did they buy or lease? Cash or finance? If they leased, what are the mileage limits and terms? How much (if anything) did they "put down?" What was the lease rate? What was their credit score?
