Subject: RE: BS: cars to avoid
Here, I'll add some music to the discussion, especially for 'Spaw and Jon. I heard Bob Kotta do this about 15 years ago; I think he wrote it. Oh, damn -- the late Bob Kotta.

The Bug-Eye
(tune: The Hog-Eye Man)

Oh the bug-eyed Sprite is the car for me
Goes 0 to 60 in three point three

In a Bug-Eye, where's the heater in a Bug-Eye?
Steady on the clutch of a Bug-Eye, O, I want the bug-eyed Sprite

Well it's fast and straight and steadyin the curve
If you've got the guts it's got the nerve, in your Bug-Eye...

I though I heard my girlfriend say
That she'd go for a ride most any day, in a Bug-Eye...

In a bug-eyed Sprite you can have great fun
But there's not enough room to get in on, in a Bug-eye...

I stripped the gears and I popped the clutch
At the end of the night she thanked me much,in my Bug-Eye...

Well nine long months had just passed by
When she came to me with a little Bug-Eye, in a Bug-Eye...

And now the saddest part I'll tell
My little Bug-Eye I had to sell, and a Bug-Eye...

So now I'm married, I'm a family man
And I drive around in a beat-up van, not a Bug-Eye...

Aloha,
Mark
