My grandfather had an ancient brown Dodge called Lizzy Jane. The car my mother had was a white duster named "Harvey S**thead" (Asterisks used for your sake, not mine), although when I started using the latter half of that at the age of one, it was renamed "Harvey Schmitlapper" Whatever. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, our current vehicle is a green subaru Forester.
