| My name is Roger (Rawja if you're from LawnGuyland) and I'm totally fixated on automobiles, I just can't help it. I'm probably the only person I know can find themselves fascinated by relatively pedestrian cars. Given the amount of time I spend sitting in traffic, it's prolly a good thing. I seem to have a predisposition for falling in love with cars that ultimately fail in the marketplace, GMs in particular. I presently own and drive an '06 Yamaha Morphous (Maxam outside of the US), a '93 [[Pontiac Trans Sport]], an '88 [[Buick Reatta]] and an '84 [[Cadillac Seville]] Elegante. I also have an '89 [[Buick Reatta]] mouldering in my driveway awaiting disassembly. | | My name is Roger (Rawja if you're from LawnGuylind) and I'm totally fixated on automobiles, I just can't help it.
