  An Ariel???? How old is that thing? I haven't heard of an Ariel in AT
LEAST 30 years.

  I still have a 1972 Ossa Stiletto and 1980 something Honda 500 but I
seldom ride them any more. Traffic is just too crazy her in Orlando. Plenty
of cars in the familty. Just went out and bought a new Hyundai Elantra for
my son two weeks ago. Bought cars for both the other kids and my OL has one
and I have a truck.
