Got my Tahoe
For those who didn’t understand the cryptic code from the other day…I bought one of these:
Just took delivery today at lunch. It’s really nice. I’ve never owned a new car.

public class TexasHighway {
public void roll( bigTruck y ) {
if ( y.curve && ( y.speed > 25 ) && ( y.cargo < 500 ) ) {
y.playOnRadio( “Uh oh!” );
y.delete( );
}
}
}
TexasHighway.roll( Greg.tahoe );

Actually, as SUV’s go, the Tahoe’s not bad on this front…because it has
the fullsize truck width.
But thanks for your concern

Hey, congrats on the spiffy new vehicle! We’ve owned a new car once, and though it was fun to have that experience, have decided to stick with "pre-owned" vehicles from here on out. Dang, them cars is expensive!
Anyway, glad you’re happy with it! Whoowoo!

Yes, this is certainly true…I didn’t want to get one more than a couple
years old though, and with the financing I was able to get on the new ones,
the net cost at the end of the loan works out to about the same thing, so I
could resist.

Just remember it was written “tongue-in-cheek” (which is much easier than
speaking with it there). I drive a 1999 four-door Blazer, the Tahoe’s little
brother.
Besides, Texas highways don’t have curves!
