Yeah, except the occupants of a hippie VW would never have used the word
"gear." "Stuff," perhaps, but never "gear." I'm waiting for the day when
we'll see a battered Lexus SC300 (no ugly spoilers on the SC300) wiv at
least one primer-coated fender, some "empties" rollin' around on the floor,
and a battered hardcover _GR_ ostentatiously displayed atop a badly-cracked
dashboard. -jm
