fastdriver asked: How come your messages don't print all the way across the page?   Looks just fine from where I'm sitting, Fastdriver. I use Netscape, maybe that has something to do with it???? I never tried using IE.....I prefer Netscape.

What's happening, I think, is that soozpk hits enter when the edge of the text box is reached. Everyone's display is different depending on the screen resolution, choice of browser and things like that, so the end of a typed line varies for all of us.   Hitting enter when you get to edge of the text box inserts a hard carriage return at that specific point. Without any hard carriage returns, the messages on a page will be reformatted to fit the viewer's screen - the line breaks occur naturally. But hard CR's cause a line break at the point where they were entered, regardless of the viewer's screen. This will make odd-looking line displays for folks who do not have the exact browser and exact resolution that the poster has.   Sorry if that is a bunch of mumbledy jumbo to any of you, but the bottom line is just type and don't hit enter when you get to the edge of the message box. The text will wrap automatically and that will allow a new line to start where it needs to start in everyone's browser.

Okay, I'll try that the next time. I use Netscape at both home and work, and it looked pretty good. How's this then???? Now, if we can only drag a .jpg image onto this we'd really have a ball.

The 5,500 reportedly made and warehoused awaiting delivery, are not being warehoused. They have been re-badged as Hyundai Amanti's [sp] and are on sale right now at your local Hyundai dealer. lol

There very well may be 5500 300s being held from shipping, but I think not for reason of advertizing purpose. At the moment, there is a Canadian rail strike, with Ford CAW workers refusing to unload boxcars. It is also affecting GM and Ford's ability to ship out vehicles. According to the article, Mopar doesn't ship vehicles out by rail, but their parts, and engines, like the 5.7 Hemi, are shipped north from Mexico. However, from yet another article, the 300C isn't affected, and I quote:   `It's not an issue,'' Elshoff said. ``We've got engines stockpiled because they're in a launch curve.''   http://www.detnews.com/2004/autosinsider/0402/27/d01-73895.htm   http://www.freep.com/news/latestnews/pm18600_20040225.htm
#609 of 4893 300 sightings by enygma6 Mar 03, 2004 (7:54 am)
So far I've seen two of these on the road already. The first was a Satin Jade heading westbound from Detroit in mid-January (I was heading into Detroit for the Auto Show). Also passed a flat-black Dodge Magnum (semi-disguised - most logos were blacked out) heading into Detroit a few minutes later. I assumed they were out road-testing at the time. Just this past weekend I saw another 300, over in Kalamazoo, MI. I don't think this was the same car I'd seen previously, as it looked too dark to be the Satin Jade, but it still had a greenish tint. Possibly the Magnesium Pearl Coat paint?

From the Detroit news: "DaimlerChrysler’s Chrysler Group does not ship finished vehicles via rail, according to spokesman David Elshoff, but does transport its popular 5.7 liter Hemi engine from Santillo, Mexico, by rail to its Brampton, Ontario, assembly plant for installation in the Dodge Magnum"   Wait a minute, Chrysler doesn't ship finished cars by train? So they need to ship 5500 cars to their destinations with nothing but trucks!?!   I'm in Arizona, my car is in Ontario. 2300 miles. Can I just come get it?

"I'm in Arizona, my car is  in Ontario. 2300 miles. Can I just come get it?"   Yes. Just pick a number from 1 to 5500. If you guess the right number, you can have your car early.
#612 of 4893 on sale by bigdaddycoats Mar 03, 2004 (9:03 am)

tibbune,   that's interesting about shipping vehicles on trains. when i ordered a '96 intrepid it was shipped via rail to minneapolis...then trucked to where i live. i wonder if det news has that screwed up?? especially since the intrepid was built in the same factory that the 300 and magnum are being built in.
