1) I don't do on-site, period.  No travel.  I also have no in-state
clients.  100% ssh/telnet/VNC/email/IM//other_online here.  Business is not
for what our mobility is an issue.  We have other considerations in play
though.

2) We just blew the head on our '87 Chevy Celebrity.  We were lucky to
replace it with a '93 Escort inside 2 days through a family connection at a
more than decent price with a brand new drivetrain.  We didn't have the
luxury of shopping around--we had to have a car like -then-...we had a
rental for 2 days as it was.

Yeah, I'd love to have 4WD.  Hell, I'd like to have my old stick shift Geo
Spectrum back--the stick is the only thing that saved our butts one night
in lexington on a downhill slope covered with black ice.  Brakes were
utterly useless, stick was God-like.  I miss stick, actually.  A lot.
