[ExI] worked on me

[William Flynn Wallace]

Computer - runs the dashboard lights and headlights.  I could do without
it, maybe, if I did not drive at night - no headlights.  These are the best
people but expensive - $95 an hour.

Isn't the Lexus Toyota's entry into the upper class cars?  Maybe comparable
to the Acura?

Anyhow, I am not going to be buying anything unless both Town cars bite the
dust.  At worst I'll have to make one of them a parts car.  And buy a Camry
to replace it for Roz to drive.  She has never liked how big the Town cars
are.

White car - had to replace the key mechanism too.   bill w
