[FWDLK] Chrysler Future comment

[Henry Hopkins <hhrp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm really enjoying reading Neil's comments and those from others.  Very 
thought provoking.  Yes, I am/was a Business major.  Looking at it from the 
perspective of what our "'model" has provided to the other automakers plus 
the government's non-protective stance is new for me and makes sense.  Just 
enjoying reading and wanted to add my 2 cents.

Love our 2000 Durango and use it for towing.  Sigh, steady 13 mpg or less 
when towing means I park it and drive the Sebring around town.  That car has 
some quirks, damn sun visor attachment for one, but still terrific.

Henry Hopkins, another fin crazed mopar nut.
