   This is probably my inner cheapskate coming to the surface (its
never buried very deep) ;-) but dang if almost $130 doesn't sound
like a lot of money for a couple of little rubber strips with some
felt stuck to them! (Somebody working a $7/hr job would have to
work half a week just to pay for 'em!) That would give me a month's
worth of lunch at McDonalds, or I could extend my Car & Driver
subscription for 16 years... I sure can't blame him for cruising the
junkyards; I'd probably be doing the same, even if I could afford
them; its the principle of the thing. :-) Then again, I could be
off base here - my perception of life, the universe and everything
doesn't always coincide with what many peoplw would consider to be
"normal". ;-)
