WVCycling - keep an eye out at your local junkyard for a 740/940. I grabbed some missing/cracked trim bits for next to nothing. My wife doesn't get it, but I love spending some time after I've grabbed what I needed just wandering around and seeing all the odd and interesting cars that have reached the end of the road. Next to the Volvo at my local yard is the world's cleanest Renault Alliance 2 door complete with rosary beads still hanging from the rear view mirror - I wonder if Aunt Thelma checked out and nobody wanted her car.

Mike - I love Germans. When we were in Berlin, having come straight from Rome, I jaywalked like a Roman and got a polite ticking off from the local police. The cop was very nice but gave my wife and I an admonishment that "this is Germany and here we FOLLOW THE RULES!" I didn't jaywalk again.
