When I was last in California, I was looking around for a car to get out
of the rental I was using. I hunted around a lot of used-car lots
looking for a Z28 that hadn't been thrashed ans was reasonably priced.
On one such lot, I suddenly realized that I was driving a Chrysler built
by Mitsubishi, and standing between a Mitsubishi built by Ford and a
Ford built by Mazda.
