Chris-

I've got a solution, but you won't like it:

Buy a Geo Metro.

* Won't help with the red light problem, BUT,
* No cop could tell you that you tried to elude him with a straight face.
* Who cares about your stupid door and fender? It's a GEO for chrissake!
* Left rear corner crushed in. Again? WTF? It's a damn GEO!
* X came and destroyed the grill, AC condenser & bumper-- who cares? 
Get the insurance settlement and buy a new one! (I mean, the car is 
totalled!!!)
* Speeding ticket for 17 over... YEAH RIGHT, only in a 15mph zone, 
because it takes 22.7 seconds to do 0-60.


Next time you get depressed about the Jetta, you can always thing 
"Hey, I could have a GEO!"
