Subject: Re: Hello!
Amy,

I'm a new car driver. I drive a Yugo (beer can with lawnboy engine) and I=
 really want
to be a safe driver. I'm fascinated with driving and look forward... blah=
 blah..

Exactly how many people have died while driving Yugos?
Is there any factual information?
Is it true that both Yugo owners and motorcycle owners are commonly refer=
red to
as organ donors?
Why do people just look at my Yugo and say that I'm gonna die driving tha=
t thing?

Sarcastically yours,
Jeff

 I'm a 26 year old diver with about a year of practical experience diving=
