>>of its details, directly from Lori:
>>
>>"It is a 1983 Vanagon VW, water cooled, fuel injected,
>>and about 15 mi per gallon average for this size and
>>make and year of car.  The mechanics are sound, engine
>>rebuilt 2 years ago, 1 1/2 years ago the transmission,
>>clutch and brakes were done, it passes smog tests in
>>California and Oregon (both stringent tests), I maintain
>>it with regular tune ups etc...., it has ~145K on the
>>rebuilt.  It does well in cold weather, mountains, and
>>long x-country drives (coast to coast).  The body has
>>some rust spots maybe 6 the size of a quarter (at max),
>>the paint is a bit faded.  The interior is average for
>>a well used car of 15 years.  I would like to get 6k
>>for it because of its sound mechanics and novelty
>>value, but I would like a different vehicle so I would
>>compromise on price."

>>You know, we hear a lot about people who want to
>>renegotiate their contracts.  But they don't
>>renegotiate them *downward*.  There's no "I had a
>>bad year.  I'll take less."  That used to happen,
>>by the way.  Al Kaline...went in about the time
>>Willie Mays and Mickey Mantle were making $100,000
>>a year.  And [the Tigers] said, "Look, Al, this is
>>embarrassing.  You're worth as much to us as they
>>are.  We're going to pay you $100,000 next year."
>>And Al says, "I don't want it.  I didn't have a
>>good enough year."
