seeming hugeness of the car from the exterior and the relatively tiny
passenger space inside. I was disappointed with the garishness of the
interior, and the fit and finish of some items. I didn't like the seats
all that much, and I thought the car rode, well, hard.

The sticker price on the car was $80,000. Dunno what it might sell for...

Be this has what to do with boating?

Hey it is an overpriced chunk of fiberglass, with an oversized engine,
sold to people with an over riding desire to boost their self esteem.
Sounds like a lot of "performance" boats they sell.

Lots of cars are overpriced. At least the Corvette is fun to,drive. Have
a friend with a new vette. Says ease up to 90 mph and it goes in to 4
cylinder mode and averages 46.5 mpg. Car ride hard? How many soft riding
cars handle worth a crap.



I know you won't understand this, but there is a difference between a
firm-riding car and a hard-riding car. Also, there are plenty of cars
that are fun to drive. Oh, and your friend is bull****ting you about
getting 46 mph at 90 mph while the car is running on four cylinders and,
even funnier, you believe it.


Of course you know all. Very aerodynamic vehicle. Does not take a lot of
power to maintain speed.


Oh, I wasn't disputing that half a Corvette engine could drive the car
to 90 mph. That's still more than 200 hp, right?

The bull**** is the miles per gallon claim. I suspect the car's computer
is confused by the shutdown of four cylinders and is reporting three
times the MPG the drivetrain is actually producing.

Why do you constantly lie? You've claimed so much **** its incredible. Please correct me if I'm wrong, But didn't you state you were shot at while helping some black folks during a protest in 1965? I do commend you and the 11 others for the effort to help rebuid their church, But the fact is you were just a college kid working for the U of Kansas as a reporter. Google: "Harry Krause" University of Kansas. You were never shot at you were never even in the car. Cool story bro!

Apparently Harry has a long time self esteem problem which he tries to
alleviate by making up grandiose stories about himself and his
imaginary possessions.

No wonder he loves Hillary. Even says the same lies about being shot at.

That's the first time I've ever seen that news account. Jones wasn't in
the car, either. The car was turned sideways on the road and we were all
behind it. Jones did hit one of the shooters. He showed up at one of the
clinics in the area, claiming he was shot in a hunting accident. The
people we were staying with knew the guy, and his local segregationist
history.

I did call the local police the next day to inquire whether there were
any local shooting victims. I don't recall how the FBI found out,
because no one would talk to them...the local FBI guys allegedly were in
the Klan or were Klan sympathizers. After our few days in Louisiana, we
moved onto Mississippi to help out in voter registration drives.

The Brian Williams/Hillary Clinton syndrome. Sensationalize it and hope
no one notices. It's likely tied to his narcissism.
