Unidentified Furious Force
Dodge has finally built a station wagon I'm willing to buy, by doing intentionally what Plymouth did by accident. In the late '60s we had a Fury III wagon that was supposed to have the 383 engine. Mom always complained it ran badly on regular gas and was only happy on premium. When it was pass- ed down to my brother, he started to rebuild the motor and found why. The beast had a 383 all right, the 383 Hemi, with 300-plus hp and 400-plus lb-ft of torque. We had the fastest Mom Bomb in Phoenix, and my brother embarrassed many street racers while I was riding with him. It's nice to see the new Magnum wagon with a Hemi option for some real guts.

The upcoming Gatesmobiles
Oh my, are all those "What if Microsoft made cars?'' jokes coming true? I'm referring to your Jan. 26 story on the Consumer Electronics Show, which included Microsoft cars. Does this mean that occasionally the car dies on the freeway for no reason, and you just accept it, restart and drive on? Or every time they repaint the lines on the road you have to buy a new car? And, of course, Macintosh will make a far better car, but it will only run on 5 percent of the superhighways?
I just hope I can have Control-Z and Ctrl-Alt-Delete built into the steering wheel.
