Mr. Murphy is NOT a lurker. On the contrary... he is the list's most
active participant. Owns a share of each of our buses, possibly excepting
those of you with '96 examples with <3K miles on them. And your time is

In my experience, this is not a metaphysical limit, but a very real limit
set by each owner. When you reach your limit, you sell the d*mned thing,
and then things do indeed begin to improve.
