I want a vehicle that is recognizable , kind of like my M8 camera is. So I thought maybe I'd look at the Hummer SUV. It is boxy and wide, and a rugged vehicle originally built for military use. These rock-crawlers look like tanks on the road , and that's not a flaw. Well, it seems that the Prius might be somewhat more friendly to the environment. At least that's what I think after filling my ten gallon gas tank, and the guy at the next pump was hitting $85 bucks as I drove away. Someone will pick this apart in about three posts. But I like my M8, and I really hate being in the darkroom, and I am in denial at how to file negatives from 1962. Good luck all you darkroom freaks. Smell your fingers and wonder why people shy away from you in public.. look at that plastic apron and when you see what the stuff does to an inert fabric wonder what it is doing to your lungs. The first miracle in my life was seeing a print coming up in the developer. The second was seeing my first kid hanging upside down in the OB's grasp. IHow did I afford an M8? I sold two hard-earned M7's and a couple lenses. It was completely worth it. I love this camera. I'll also keep the Prius.<<< Beautiful Sonny as it couldn't have been said better! ted -- Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com Natchitoches, Louisiana USA _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
