Service Vehicle

[John Ross]

Hi Clyde,
I am obviously, not Terry. But, I tried one today.
I had thought the PT Cruiser, a very versatile vehicle, with the fold
down, and easily removable seats.
I was looking for a vehicle for my wife. So I test drove one of them
today. I still think they are a versatile vehicle. But, I think they
are overpriced, and underpowered. The gas mileage is lousy,  also the
noise level is high. She didn't like it, and she felt cramped.
My wife's 94 Chrysler Concorde, gets the same mileage. So maybe we
will just stick with the Concorde. I have my minivan.
Regards,
John M. Ross

| Terry,

| Does my memory serve me correctly that, once before when we
discussed vehicles, you were impressed with the PT Cruiser?  If so,
now's your chance!  I know they've been around for a little while, but
they still get noticed.

What vehicle do you use, and why do you think it is a good vehicle for
piano servicing?

need to carry my tools and also be able to place an action into the
vehicle.

me I either go with a small/mid-sized wagon or get a tank (Lincoln
Town Car, Crown Victoria LTD, etc.). I definately want a car.
