Re: [Chrysler300] Dot 3 / Dot 5

[mwl1967@xxxxxxx]

I had to look again, don't know how I missed it... reference to our  
fearless leader's comment on the campaign trail about how he had been to all 57  
states; which makes the mainland the "lower 55" (excluding Hawaii and  
Alaska)  
 
It was worth a grin... would be worth a chuckle if things were better than  
they are. Anyway; just to keep the 300 content in here he did have good 
taste in  cars ( late model 300C ) until it became politically expedient to 
ditch  it.

Ok, ok, ok. I've read all the references to "political opinions" in  this 
email and after reading it for the umpteenth time, I fail to find any  
political references. Please enlighten me or shut up.
