I have six months to live. I owned a new car in 1990, and have since
developed an inoperable brain tumor, which explains my behavior.

I know Im going to get FLAMED for this, but we need to get more of
the "middle class middle aged people" to buy new cars, that way, us
"almost there" 58 year olds can hopefully still have some Social
Security benefits when we get to be "middle class middle aged"
<wink> :))

Ahhhh.... social security.... 3 years and counting... my pay raise
added to the retirement I have been getting since 1988. Then I might
be able to quit buying cat food by the case..... (it's the only way I
can afford to provide my dog with the prime rib it craves, and still
pay for gas for the car....) : 0 )

Loved it... and I can add my own experience.... Back in 86, my loving bride
and I bought our first brand new car.... Since inhaling those new car fumes,
we have aged nearly 20 years and continue to get older by the day. We both
realize that, allowed to continue, this aging process will surely mean our
death. Doctors are mystified at this insidious, chronic condition and offer
us little hope.
Since that first incident, we have made the mistake of purchasing other new
vehicles and, personally, I feel it has compounded the problem. I'm only 29
yet I feel like I'm 55. I've been 29 for the past 26 years now... this is
not something I would likely forget.... yet this insidious new car smell is
disfiguring me.... My arms are no longer long enough to read the newspaper
(which is probably why I didn't see this warning in the first place).... and
now I find that gravity does, indeed, work. My wife has noticed this too
since there are some things that just don't appear to be where they used to
be.
There are certain pleasures that I used to revel in all night long.... now I
find that what I used to do all night, takes me all night to do.
I think the world would be a much safer place if the inside of a new car
smelled like pickled egg and warm beer farts... kind of like a "dutch oven"
of comfort...

God! Sounds like my former father-in-law who, at the mandate of the
Mrs, was forced to retreat to the garage with his cronies to partake
of limburger cheese and beer... which is how he expanded his garage
from one car to three and an office.... and got the oil burning wood
stove installed. : 0 )

At least I'm not a tedious little boor, totally devoid of any conscious
thought. My keyboard appears to have many more letters than yours and has
combined them in all manner of incantations, many of them, quite unlike
yours, offer sage advice.
Many of us would dearly love to see things from your point of view but,
sadly, we can't get our heads up our asses...
