Huh, fascinating...

was chatting with a local generic sort of auto part store guy...(checking
availability on the multi meter)

I mentioned that we owned Peugeots...

He told me that they no longer exported them to the U.S.

(DUH...)

BUT (here's the fun part)

He said that "you could get any model you want in Canada...he'd heard that
some guys in Canada sold new ones....."

505's and everything....

OK YOU SNEAKY NORTHERNERS.....

ARE YOU HOLDING OUT ON YOUR U.S. PALS?

I'll bet you just make up all that stuff about finding cars and parts, so
as to cover your tracks......YOU'RE ALL CRUISING AROUND IN BRAND NEW ONES,
AND THERE'S A DEALER 'ROUND EVERY BEND!!!

boy, isn't the ol' rumor mill just way too amusing sometimes?

I just didn't bother to enlighten him, he was to busy trying to share his
scuttle-butt info with the nice lady on the phone...

I guess driving a Taurus would be pretty boring...
