I just picked up a '92 4wd Loyale... for those of who who aren't Subaru nuts;o), it's basically a four wheel drive compact station wagon. 4 cylinder, 90 horsepower, can fit the spare tire behind the engine 'neath the hood, fully loaded (everything power) with the exception of a cup holder.
She (yes, it's a *she*... cars are like boats, or at least they should be) gets above 25 MPG... closer to 30. Easier to repair, too... easy enough that I've replaced an half-axle in a college parking lot, using tools usually found in any handyman's garage.
220,000 miles. Paid $850. Not only am I avoiding the bad gas mileage of the SUV's, I'm actually fixing my car;o)... rather than just replacing it. Compared to the monthly payment on a new SUV, repairing it is pretty cheap. And I'm not sending it off to the scrap heap... what gets done with all those old vehicles, anyhow?
Sounds a lot like entrapment, if'n you ask me. Entrapment might not be illegal if a government agent is not involved (at least in Florida), but it's not something I'd consider an act of a honorable group.
And I, for one, refuse to deal with dishonorable people... that'll hold true for groups, too.
"This wasn't a breach, per se, just the potential for one..."
*sarcasm* Yeah, that's handy. Imagine if I had a fuel gauge in my car that told me when I was out of fuel, instead of when I was about to run out of fuel.
Or a bank account that let me know when I was completely broke, instead of letting me know when I was about to go broke. */sarcasm*

In my experience, "resnet" = "residential network". In other words, the network that serves the dorms/apartments/on-campus student housing.

When will the absurdities end?
If I was her, I'd sure hate to trip and land on my knees...
