    D-day arrived, and sure enough, our family photo is on page 4 of the special Cars section of today's NY Times! :-)

    My quote is even highlighted, pretty cool:

    Looks like you and I share an article...that's me standing up in the Volvo at the top of the page!
    Told 'em three times it was an Accord, not a Civic, though...eh, well. They got it right in the article, if not the photo caption.

    How cool is that, Dave? That adds new meaning to the article...

    Thanks Jeannine, but I beat you to it. I had a print edition of the NY Times at about 9am. I'd scanned it in and shared it with just about everyone that would lend me their ears! LOL

    About the recall notices,
    One thing I have noticed is that some folks do not end up with the recall notices, because either they or the dealer (usually the dealer) has not gotten the correct info to the proper place.
    One thing that folks can do is to call their dealer and ask if there are any outstanding recalls on their vehicle. Have the Year, Make, Model and VIN number handy for them.
    They should be able to tell you if there are any recalls that need to be done. It is in your best interest and theirs.

    The computer age has not erased the bumper sticker. (But, really, with all that adhesive, what can?) With political season upon us and 10 states voting on Super Tuesday, the bumper sticker remains a campaign communication for the ages. From Chevy Cavaliers to Mercedes sedans, the bumper is always an ends to a means -- a perpetual ad. Kerry. Edwards. Bush. All hawk bumper stickers on their websites. There are
    slogans: HORN BROKEN/WATCH FOR FINGER. ... HONOR STUDENT. ... But when you couple free speech with adhesive, there's bound to be bumper sticker remorse -- whether for a campaign or some other expression. What do you do when the passion fades? If Ralph Nader was your guy in 2000 but not now, what's a poor car owner to do? My name is Marlon Manuel and I'm writing a story about bumper stickers, who uses them and why. Please call me (770-509-4097: office) or e-mail me (mmanuel@ajc.com) by Friday, Feb. 27, by 5 p.m. EST.
