RE: IML: Nowadays They All Look The Same

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

Its all relative. Folks the age of my parents use to say the same thing about cars from the 50's and 60's. What I heard was "back in the old days, anyone who was worth their salt could tell a Cord from a Peerless a mile a way, nowadays all these Buicks, Oldsmobiles, and Cadillacs, (and Imperials) look the same".
